apparently, on his arrival at the coast, gave himself up entirely to the
task of arranging a settlement with the ruler of Masqat. In these
circumstances the Agent and Council, without obtaining the instructions
of their superiors at Bombay, endeavoured to put pressure on Karim Khan
by arranging for a boycott of his ports by all British vessels j and it is
clear that, but for strict injunetions by the Bombay Government against
bringing about an unauthorised rupture^ they would have proceeded to
make seizure of a large quantity of Persian property carried by a British
vessel, a The Four Friends.""

settlement suggested by the Shaikh were that, on condition of a European
gentleman or an Armenian merchant being posted provisionally to Bushehr
as Resident and the trade with that place re-opened, the " Tyger ,; and

of Messrs. Beaumont and Green was absolutely effected but they were
confident that perseverance in that policy, to which and to the commercial
boycott of Bushehr they attributed the advances now made by N& sir
