AGENCY

FOR THE YEAR 1907-1908. 49
The wharf, which M. ter Meulen acquired in the preceding year, proved
to be something of a white elephant. It had been leased when the river
was high, and wlipn the water receded Haji Rais at once denied the exclusive
rights of M. ter Menlen in the foreshore. It was only during the past spring
that further negotiations resulted in the establishment of M. ter Meulen's
claims in consideration for seme increase in the pecuniary terms of the lease. •
80. Persian commercial enterprises.—~ The Muin-ut-Tujjar's steamer,
the Nusrat, has continued to ply on the lower Karun. Owing to the
abundance of enrgo provided by the heavy wheat export its presence was
not injurious to Lynch's steamer, the Malamir,
Needless to say nothing has been done to look after the ship and its
engines in particular are in a very unsatisfactory condition and require
overhauling.
Just recently an Englishman has been engaged as a Captain, and it
is to be feared that his influence may tend to prolong the life of the vessel.
81. A new steam boat for use on the upper river between Ahwaz and
Shushter has been put together at Muhammerah. It is named the
Mauvin and is expected up at Ahwaz shortly.
The Nusrat is not believed to be paying its way, and the prospects of
the new boat doing so # are nil. The Shushan, up to the present the only
steamer on ttie field, has always worked at a heavy loss.
82. The goods store erected by the •Muin-ut-Tujjar at Shalaili was
brought to the ground by heavy floods which occurred in the end of March.
Its construction was faulty.
83. The Nazim-ut-Tujjar, the Muin-ut-Tujjar's nephew, came to Ahwaz
in December and has remained there since. It is believed he enjoys some
notoriety for complicity in an attack on the British
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
at Bushire, and
for an attempt to make away with his uncle's life.
He called on the Vice-Consul and expressed friendship, and up to th e
present has given no cause for complaint.
84. Visitors, —Mr. P. L. Loraine, formerly Secretary to the Embassy at
Constantinople, passed through Ahwaz on his way to take up the appointment of
3rd Secretary to the Legation at Tehran, lie had travelled from Constantinople
by way of Baghdad and was accompanied by Mr. Jay, a Secretary to the
American Embassy to the Porte.
They left Ahwaz on 24ith April proceeding by way of the Bakhtiari
country and Ispahan.
85. In November an individual describing himself as
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Amir
Muhammad Khan, Afghan, follower of ex-Amir Ayub Khan, made his
appearance at Ahwaz and wanted his way made smooth through the Bakhtiari
country.
As he was unprovided with kit necessary, and as the country was in a
somewhat disturbed condition, successful endeavours were made to discourage
him. He appeared to be on a begging mission to Tehran, and when he
learned that the conditions were not favourable for successful mendicancy, he
readily abandoned his proposed journey, and returned to India.
