Company independent of his favour in the Ka^ab and all other affairs ;
and they criticised and condemned the idea of attacking Mir Mahanna,
unless first attacked by him, and of forming a settlement on Eharag,
either with or without his consent.
The negotations with Karim Kban through Mr. Skipp, who was
still at Sliiraz, continued for two or three months after the failure of
the attack on Kharag ; but there was now no longer any chance of
their success, for, not only did Mr. Moore adhere to the "unaccountable
antipathy " which he had conceived for Karim Khan and even express
his preference for an alliance with Mir Mahanna, but he also took a
^strange personal pique and disgust to Mr. Skipp ,5 which put an
end to harmonious and effective working. On the 6th of September
the Agent and Council at Basrah " came to the resolution of having
nothing further to do with the Caun, his perfidious and injurious treat
ment of us (being) the cause of it, " and sent orders to Mr. Skipp to
annul all engagements and retire from Shiraz; and this decision,

force to Ganaveh opposite Kharag, which they treated as a mere blind,
they absolutely refused to reconsider. Mr. Skipp, on his arrival at Basrah
in October 1768, was suspended by his enemies there on a charge of
breach of trust and breach of orders in commercial matters, as explained
in another place, and found himself obliged to proceed to Bombay for
the purpose of vindicating his character.
The failure of their representatives to arrive at an understanding
with Karim Khan re-acted unfavourably, in more than one respect, upon
