88. Rais Ghulam Razmi of Baluk-i-Dashti. the present
leading Khan of Dashti, and Rais All ChahplTt, chief
Khan of Tangistan, together with forty armed fuian^chis
arrived in Bushire on 19th February on a short v 4 3jt. It
was the first visit of the former tc J^shire for ^orlie 25
years though Rais Ali visited Bushire over a ^ear .
The visit not unnaturally provoked a crop of rumours and

.surrounding the visit. One o^ the ostensible reasons fo r
Rais Ghulam 1 s visit was to see a denfciSfc.. Inquiries

always a ohady but highly profitable transection. Yet
the Khans have in the past arranged such ^ffa^rs through •
their Qushire agents to their satisfaction and without any
inoidm ate rake off being taken by tne latter so as
is Known.
89. Before discussing further the motives for the
visit, it should be recorded that on the first day the
Khans called on Sargurd Pakrawan, 0.0, troops and, next
day, on the Governor. They inquired from K.M.Consul when
it would be convenient for them to call on him 0 This inquir"'
was put through from the Governorate where the Khans were
then calling. As it had the blessing.of "he Governor,
H.M.Consul replied to this inquiry by asking both Khans to
call at the same time ( they asked for separate tim«s) and
-by asking the Governor to be present at the calls IVvis
was thought to be a wise precaution in view of the propa
ganda which might be made from the Khans visiting K.M.
Consul separately and privately. The Governor agreed to
this and the Khans duly called, Rais Ali Chahpin making
polite protestations of his devotion to the British and
his anxiety to be of assistance, Rais Ghulam Razmi barely
uttering a single word. H.M.Consul confined his remarks
t* conventional politenesses and expressed the hope that
the Khans would exert their influence to maintain peace
in Dashti and Tangistan,
90. H.M»Consul privately asked Fathullah Khan Hiat
Paud in the course of conversation why the Khans had come
to Bushira* The latter said he did not know but, rightly
interpreting H.M.Consul’s inquiry as a hint to find out,
he later reported a conversation he ha/d had with Ghulam
Razmi in the presence of Aqai Rustaian, Finance Director.
AsKed wh/ he had come to Bushire Rais Ghulam bluntly said
Le had been hearing reports uiat the British weie ready to
help the tribesman with arms and ammunition, that he had
