BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE PROVINCE OF FARS.
185
Bunder Lingah is a trading port ; a number of Jahroom and Lar
merchants reside here. The revenue of this place is very trifling.
Bunder Assaloo was some 50 years ago ruled by Sheikh Khulfan,
w r ho was a very respectable man, and of great influence, as also a good
ruler. His sons are not so, and in consequence the place is daily
going to ruin.
Burdistan is one of the seaports of Bashty ; the Khans are taking
great care to improve it. Many of the people of Congoon have settled
there.
N
Bunders Congoon and Taurie. Some 100 years ago Bunder Taurie
was in a better condition. It then contained about 100 Indian mer”
chants and some good buildings ; these are now in ruins. Bunder
Congoon was once well inhabited, and its Chiefs, Sheikh Mahomed
Khan and Sheik Jubbareh Khan, had well distinguished themselves
among their tribes, but Jemal Khan and Houssein Khan Dashty,
through jealousy went and destroyed the place and plundered the
Khans of wealth. Sheikh Hassan Khan, aided by the Persian Go
vernment, is now trying to put the port into order again.
Bunder Abushireo Formerly Reshire was a well inhabited seaport*
but the ancestors of Sheikh Abclool Russool Khan settled at Aboosheer
and encouraged others to settle there also ; owing to the English
Government keeping peace and order at sea, the place has become a
good trading port. The Governors, too, are not able to oppress the
ryots, and the consequence is, that the place is improving daily and that
trade is flourishing.
