of Local Government accounts, which
started during the war when we were financing the Local Government, was
discontinued during the year.
Eelations with the Local Government were as close and cordial as usual.
His Royal Highness Earman Earma held this position till the middle of
Govemor-Generai of Fars. September. He came down to Bushire to
receive His Imperial Majesty the Shah in
May accompanying him to Mohammerah and was absent from Shiraz about a
month. The resignation of His Highness had been anticipated as his unpopu
larity in Ears had been growing daily more pronounced. He sent in his resig
nation to Teheran openly on September 16th and retired from the Ark. His
Excellency the Qawam-ul-Mulk and Nasir-ul-Mulk took upon themselves the
duty of keeping order until another Governor-General was appointed. Early
in October Musaddiq-us-Sultaneh, Minister of Justice in Mushir-ed-Dowleh's
Cabinet, arrived in Bushire from Europe and proceeded up-country en route for
Teheran. On arrival in Shiraz he was approached by a committee of local
habitants who offered him the Governor-Generalship.
Strong representations to the Cabinet in Teheran resulted in his appoint
ment and he took over charge on October 9th. His Highness the Earman
Earma left Shiraz shortly afterwards for Teheran and was given a great send-
off, the South Persian Eifles parading at full strength to honour him.
The remains of the Bushire Eield Eorce were withdrawn during April
Busbire Force ail( ^ The concentration of the 127th
Baluchis, 1 squad 15th Lancers and 35th
Mountain Battery from Shiraz and the 117th Mahrattas from Kazerun was
completed on 1st April and they embarked during the month.
On May 4th Brigadier-General A. H. Drew, C.I.E., handed over to
Lieutenant-Colonel C. H. B. Wright, 71st Punjabis, the remnants of the Eorce
consisting of headquarters and 1 wing 7lst Punjabis and necessary Supply and
Transport and Works personnel in Bushire, and the remainder of the 71st
Punjabis in Bandar Abbas, Lingah and Bahrain. Muscat was garrisoned by
two companies of the 117th Mahrattas relieving the 2-lst Brahmins in May,
and the detachments at Jask and Charbar were found by Muscat.
The 7lst Punjabis were relieved by the 2-112th Infantry in December.
The beginning of the year found the two rebels Sheikh Hussain and Zair
Bushire Hinteria&d, KhidtMr stiU defiant in the field. The
Khans of Dashti had met Asaf-ul-Mulk, the
Deputy Governor at Khormuj,. and promised obedience, but when it came to
the point they refused to listen to his suggestion that they should fight Sheikh
Hussain and Zair Khidher. Asaf-ul-Mulk then captured three of them,
Hussain Khan, Abdul Humaid and Karim Khan, his method of doing so
undoubtedly being not far short of treachery. Then followed a desultory form
of warfare between tofangchis assembled by Asaf-ul-Mulk and the Khan's
followers, which was supported by bombing from our aeroplanes on a few
occasions at the special request of the Deputy Governor.
Meanwhile plans for concerted action by the Bushire Eorce and the South
Persian Eifles were made to enter the tangled hilly country behind Ahram, the
objective of which was either to capture or completely expel Sheikh Hussain
and Zair Khidher from the country. The acting Inspector-General, South
Persian Eifles, and the Brigadier Major visited Bushire in January, in order to
discuss the matter with the General Officer Commanding. The plan was for
converging columns from Shiraz to concentrate near Khawiz, the haunt of the
rebels, supported by a mixed force from Bushire who were to occupy Ahram.
Asaf-ul-Mulk was to draw a screen round the rear of the rebels from the direc
tion of Dashti.
