Shiblcuh Area .—Shaikh Mohamed bin Ahmed Khalfari who returned to
Persia from Arabia in November 1931 renewed his resistance to the Central
authorities. He occupied Shiyu in January. He made Teben in the bhinki>.h
area his stronghold and withstood all attacks. Tn May he visited the Arab coast
but was not cordially received by the Rulers there. _ Accompanied by some HJO
followers he returned to Persia and occupied Asalu in June. At the end of tne
year he was still resisting Persian attacks though he announced his willingness
to come to terms and pay up arrears of revenue provided the large sums expended
by him as douceurs to the Persian military authorities were offset m the calcula

they attacked and looted the village of Old Jask and besieged the small
p-arrison there. The next dav they retreated m order before the arrival of
Persian reinforcements. Mustapha Khan eventually agreed to give up some old
and useless rifles, his sons having crossed to the Arab coast m the autumn.

intention of leaving Persia should the Persian Government continue to trouble
