^ At 0530 the Persian gunboats ’BABR” and H PALAKO n arrived
and anchored close to "BIDSFCRD”* The Officer of the Guard was
sent over and was received by lieutenant de Vaiseau Velli*
Commandant Bayendor who was in command of the 2 shipe
did not appear, but sent a message that he would pay his call on
me at 0800. He cane shortly after that tine and in apologising
for the earliness of the call said thiit he had to be ashore to call
on the Governor at 0930,
He was very polite, bordering on the obsequious, and
only trivialities were discussed*
I returned his call at 0845, but nothing of interest
took place*

As previous meetings between ^BIDSPOHD** and the Persian
gunboats have not been friendly ones, I requested the Wardroom
officers to call on the BABR M 's Wardroom* Three officers went
over and were most courteously received.
They were shown round the upper deck and reported that
she was of average cleanliness; the guns appeared to be in poor
condition.
In view of our impending departure the Persians were
invited to postpone their return call until our next meeting.
I really think the visit was a success.
We left the inn r anchorage at 1615, passing the Persian
gunboats whose crews were fallen in, and exchanged farewell signals
with "BABR”.

The British Consul called on me at 1000 being saluted on
leaving, and I returned hie call shortly afterwards. 1 then called
on the Mutasariff, who returned my call at noon and was saluted on
leaving.
Nothing of interest transpired at these meetings, except
that the Consul expressed the desire for more warning of a sloop’s
arrival as he feared another request to this effect from the
Iraq Government.
