keep Hormuz and be placed in possession of the Laft fort, while the
Qasimi Shaikh should retain the ship " Rahmani/' and that the revenues
of Qishm Island should be equally divided for the future among the three
parties to the peace. The settlement, however, promised little advantage
to the general tranquillity, for it set free the Bani MVin to commit

desired them to enter his service as sailors, bringing their own ships,
when, on condition of their not carrying on any trade and merely cruising
according to his directions, he would grant them regular pay. Such an
arrangement would, it was foreseen by the British Agent at Bandar
