Gulf before giving an answer; and in October 1820 the Bombay Govern
ment thought it expedient to withdraw their offer. The hesitation of
the Shah seems to have proceeded from an unfounded suspicion on his
part that the cession of an island in the Gulf would be demanded by the
British as the price of their good offices.
In the early morning of the 18th March 1820 the a Ariel, "—an
armed brig of 160 tons, belonging to the East India Company, which
had taken part in the operations against Ras-al-Khaimah,—suddenly
foundered in a squall about 13 miles to the south-east of Kharag
Island. Of 83 persons on board at the time of the catastrophe, only five
or six succeeded in reaching Kharag on a canoe which was kept by the
officers for duck-shooting, the principal of these being Mr. J. Glen,
the Surgeon. The few survivors were kindly received, entertained, and
forwarded to Bushehr by the Shaikh of Kharag, who afterwards received
a gratuity of Es. 500 from the British Resident in acknowledgment
of his humane conduct.
After the conclusion of the British expedition of 1819-20, the Gov
ernment of Fars and the Persian Government made repeated complaints
to the Bombay Government and to the British Charge d^Aaffairs at
Tehran against Mr. Bruce, the Resident at Bushehr, and pressed strongly
for his recall. The most important charge against him was one of
having interfered in Bahrain to effect a reconciliation between the Shaikh
and the Sultan of ? Oman, and of having thus frustrated the policy of

of Fars at the very moment when the Sultan of
; 0man was about to take part with him in a joint invasion of Bahrain.
It was added, in one of the quaintly worded accusations, that Mr.
Bruce had also " stipulated for the motion of a standard on that island/*
by which the hoisting of the British flag seemed to be meant. To these
allegations Mr. Bruce was able to reply that the Sultan of ; Oman had in
deed come to a settlement with the Shaikh of Bahrain prior to the depar
ture of the British armament from the Gulf, but that he personally had
bad nothing to do with it, being fully occupied on his single visit to
Bahrain during the expedition in obtaining the surrender of some piratical
vessels; and that the British flag, as was well known, had never been
hoisted there. A second charge referred to the alleged loss, in a storm,
