1. Jrorr. the day that i arrived at the raort of Lawar, no "boat
taking a Jawaz hao left for Bahrain; except that two boats loaded
sheep, bullocks, havks from the oreek at Khan, and went to Bahrain.
-»-hey brought baok smuggled goods on their return, J-'heir sailing and
return was without Jawaz or pas^. i; aw astonished as to how they
were not seized In Bahrain in aooordanoe with the arrangement
mentioned in our interview.
2, He regards the hostily in Dashti. However greatly they have
tried and wished to upset the relations between Hussain Khan and
the tribes, who are pledged to him, the acfctais attempts of the
mischief-makers have been spoilt by the excellent plans of Zair
Abdullah ^han and Faqih Muhammad Khan. Up tilljf now the hostile
parties have been urging a general peace, so that each one of them
should remain, where he lives, and as this course was against the
interests of Hussain Khan, i.e. some of his properties were in
their hands, he would not agree. On this account there has arisen
a little ill-feeling between him and ^aqih Zain-ud-Din: although
they hold to their former accord, yet inwardly they are not on
good terms, and the hostile parties will soon take advantage of
this state of affairs to create lasting ill-feeling between them.
At this juncture it is very necsssary that you should assist
and show kindness to iiussain Khan: and you should, as quickly as
may be despatched for some da^s to Dashti either Zair Abdullah
ivhan or Faqih ^uhamnad Khan to arrange natters between them and
put a stop to the intrigues o^ the hostile narties.
This matter is of the greatest importance, and would be very
timely: if this step is delayed, it may be that a^aira, in Dashti
may take an irremediable turn, it is very necessary to send either
one or the other of them quickly.
