1st to 31st January.
Condition of 45. With reference to paragraph 1050 of 1912, the Director of Customs, during
Country. the 1st week, sent Mirza Ahmed Khan and Shaikh Shahab in the Customs launch
“ Gilan ” to Gaobandi to interview Ali Akbar Khan of that place and endeavour to
recover the gun. The “ Gilan ” returned last week, with the gun and 5 tupchis
from Tahiri.
Condition of roads, 46. (a) The Darya Begi arrived at Borasjun during the first week, primarily
Telegraph and in connection with the despatch of some arms and ammunition for the Governor-
Postal Service. General of Shiraz. The presence of his predecessor and rival so near Bushire
caused a certain amount of anxiety to the Governor of Bushire.
(6) The Darya Begi was understood to have posted parties of sowars at
Kamarij and Daliki during the 2nd week. Those left at the former place having
been boycotted by the local inhabitants, the Darya Begi had to recall them to
Borasjun. It was also alleged that the Khans on the road expressed displeasure
at the Darya Begi’s action in posting sowars at various stages.
(c) The Darya Begi was understood to have proceeded to Shahbancara to
endeavour to make peace between Mirza Ismail Khan and the Ghazanfar-es-
Sultaneh, the Khan of Borasjun. He also effected the release of the son-in-
law of the former who had been imprisoned at Borasjun for the last six months,
and this step is believed to have in a great measure removed the ill feeling prevail
ing between the two Khans.
{d) The Darya Begi is recently reported to have commandeered 25 mules
from muleteers carrying goods up-country and departed for Shiraz by the Br.rdun
mountain track apparently with the object of avoiding the Tang-i-Turkan Pass and
Muhammad Ali’s men. He must be feeling in a weak position in reference to the
Kashkulis, or he would hardly have adopted this difficult alternative route,
(e) The Swedish officers {vide paragraph 1274 of 1912) had in the beginning
of the month engaged about 70 men at 95 Krans each per mensem for a period of
3 years under the guarantee of Kaid Muhammad Jaffar (vide paragraph 621 of
1912).
(/) Latest rumours are to the effect that the Khans of Borasjun, Tangistan,
Dashti, etc., are becoming alarmed at the enlistment of their men for the Gen
darmerie and are likely to discourage it secretly.
