(to) A few days later an official called Sheikh Atodullah
(son of Sheikh Salih) was sent with a letter from
the Governor of Qishm town to the Headman of
Persian Basidu telling the latter to find cmt why
Hussein had "been embarked in SHORBHAM. Hussein
was sent for and when asked* replied that he went
on hoard SHORKHAM to enquire about the interest
on a legacy left toy Haji Khadudad for repairing
the Mosque* Temples etc*
He had added that the Senior Naval Officer took
him to Hen;}am to see Telles and that when the
Senior Uaval Officer wanted him to land he had
refused to do so on the ground of difficulty in
obtaining a travelling pass to return home.
Hussein finally told the official that owing to
his inability to find his own passage home the
S#N*0* had promised to arrange it for him; that
he had first gone to BIDHFORD for that purpose
but as BIDKFORD did not visit Basidu, the
SH0R3HAM had eventually ta&en him there.

An officer was sent ashore to inform the Deputy
Governor that in honour of the Shah’s birthday, H. 1 '. Ships
in harbour would dress overall the following day and would
fire a salute of 21 guns at noon.
On sending in a request to see the Deputy Governor
the officer received a reply from the former that as he was
having lunch he would not see the officer for half an hour.
The officer then withdrew and was overtaken by the
Deputy Governor’s orderly with a further message to the
effect that as the Deputy Governor would be shaving after
lunch he would not be ready to receive the officer for an
hour.
The officer wisely returned on board and left no
message - this being subsequently delivered by the SH0:3HAM*8
interpreter the same evening.
