March four Ka'ab Gallivats appeared off Basrah, and a demand was made
for various articles said to have been left behind by the Persians; but
some of the Muntafik tribe, whose help had been solicited by the tempo
rary Government of Basrah, were already in the town; and on the follow
ing' day one of their Shaikhs, Thamir, arrived in person. The visitors
accordingly "contented themselves with receiving one of the chains
" which belonged to the Chaub, and with three or four guns which
" they found at Goordilan, a fort on the other side of the river, and
opposite to the town, and which Sadoo Caun had been employ-

themselves obliged in return to make a present of 300 Tumans to Sadiq

mentioned, to the temporary administration, seems to have been the only
unusual expense to which they were subjected by the change of govern
ment ; and the situation, as a whole, was regarded by them with much
complacency. They had been of service, during his imprisonment in
Persia, to Sulaiman Agha, whose restoration to the Mutasallimate was
now expected ; they stood well with the Arabs of Basrah and its neigh-
bourhood, a number of whom had been redeemed from slavery by their
instrumentality, and with the Muntafik Shaikh; they had cultivated
friendly relations, during the Persian occupation, with the people of Hig,
Ganaveh and Bushehr; and even the Ka'ab Shaikh, at this juncture,
renewed his assurances of friendship and delivered up a boat which
"the Resident of Bushehr had despatched .... with news of the
