PERSIAN GULF
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
ADMINISTRATION REPORT
relations between Islam Khan and his brothers Sahib Khan and Nagdi Khan,
but a reconciliation through the good offices of neighbouring chiefs, including
Mir Barkat of Biaban and Mir Mustafa Khan, appears likely.
In December it was reported that Hussain Khan and his party had been
fired on from Gaih fort by men under Mir Ahmed Khan, son-in-law of Mir
Islam Khan. There were several casualties on both sides. Mir Islam Khan
was at Oharbar and, on hearing news of fighting, he sent Mir Mahmud Khau
of Eanooch with a letter to Mir Ahmed Khan, reprimanding him and ordering
him to evacuate the fort and to return to Bint. These orders were carried
out by Mir Ahmed Khan. This incident increased the ill-feeling against
Islam Khan and eventually led to his ceasing to be the guardian of Hussain
Khan.
Mir Asraf Khan of Bahu has settled a greater part of his debts. A very
small sum remains against him. The
claims against other chiefs and people of
Persian Mekran are in the same condition as in last year.
No foreign subiects resided at the ports
oreign su jec s. 0 f ^ Mekran Coast during the year.
