of Bahrain^ and he seized the opportunity to dispose of a part of Hs
spoil in Masqat harbour to an ^Omani subject, by whom it was sent
to Jiddah for sale. A person named Mirza Baqir of Bandar 'Abbas
purchased 800 Tumans' worth of the stolen property and took a further
quantity to the value of 5,200 Tumans provisionally on long credit, but
the latter he subsequently returned to the Shaikh. Persian mercbants
of Yazd and Khojahs from Sind also helped to relieve Shaikh Rabmali
of part of his stock; and afterwards strong reason was found for suspect
ing that Shaikh Saif, Harami, of ^Asalu and Shaikh ^Abdur Rahman of
Naband had acquired a joint interest to the extent of Rs. 33,750 in tbe
goods taken out of the " Hector. 33 A considerable proportion of the
stuff, however, remained in the possession of Shaikh Rahmah, and was
deposited by him on the islands of Hormuz and Qishm.

at Bushehr was next sent to the
Shaikh of Nakhilu with a letter from the Resident, demanding repara
tion. On the 12th June 1804 he returned with an evasive reply by the
Shaikh, who offered to restore half of the missing goods; but the
proposal was rejected by the Resident, who considered it inadequate, and
who suspected besides that it was made without any intention of fulfil"

Riza, who had now been appointed by the Shiraz Government to enquire
into both affairs, and to exact reparation from Shaikh Rahmah with the
help of Shaikh Nasir of Bushehr and other chiefs of the coast. This
Commissioner was handsomely received and entertained by the British
Resident, who expended about Rs. 5,000 on presents for him and strove to
fortify his mind with moral principles against the corrupt approaches
