naissance to Ahwaz; and, almost simultaneously with his return, 17th May
news reached the Lieutenant-General Commanding of the conclusion of 185 ^
^ peace between Britain and Persia. The outward demeanour of the
la Ul Shaikhs, who had until then been loud in their professions of attachment
fire c{ aD( i good will to the British Government, at once underwent a not

mpressi; of Peace. The Ka^ab Shaikh, it was believed, was still willing to be

divideli means open to him of supplanting his Muhaisin rival there; but Sir J.
ass ii Outram, who did not feel himself justified, or see any practical advantage,

claim, over the country.
