Part I—Chap. !•
17* Meanwhile Major Malcolm had been ordered by a letter, dated 26th
August 1802, of the Governor-General to Bombay from Calcutta as the fittest
man for throwing oil over troubled waters. On his arrival at Bombay he had
an inventory made of the deceased's property, which he despatched to the
Persian Government for orders. He wrote letters to the Shah and his ministers
representing the catastrophe as being due to a merest accident and not to the
slightest fault or neglect on the part of the authorities, who did everything
in their power to make the Persian Ambassador's stay a pleasant and comfort
able one.
18. The clamorous retainers of the late ambassadors were satisfied from
the highest to the lowest. " But," writes Kaye in his Life of Sir John Malcolm,
" the magnitude of the crisis had been greatly exaggerated. The death
of the ambassador created but little sensation in Persia, and that little soon
passed away. It was not regarded as a national outrage, but as a debt con
tracted by us, which money payments might promptly discharge, and it
was said soon afterwards that the English might kill ten ambassadors, if
they would pay for them at the same rate."
19. The body of the deceased Khan was despatched to Kerbella with
every circumstance of honour, a number of Persians and Mr. Pasely accom
panying it.
