patcli Governor that it should be submitted to the Government of
B mbay Nothing more was apparently heard of the matter, which
had arisen through a complaint made by the Inspector Christanus men
tioned in the protest, and in regard to which Mynheer Buschman was
careful to explain, in a covering letter, that he only acted under instruc-
tions from the Supreme Council in Batavia.
At the end of July 1765 Mynheer Buschman, who had applied for The Dutch
leave of absence on the ground of health, was relieved by a Mynheer van on
Houting, a gentleman of ability, well connected in Holland, but under
altogether ignorant of the languages and the politics of the Gulf. Routing,™
Mynheer Buschman had recommended a German named Tamm or Temm
who had come to Kharag as a private soldier and had risen by merit to
a clerkship and finally to the position of Second, to act as his locum
tenens j but the Council in Batavia, though prepared to grant Tamm
some substantial advantages, would not give him the Chief ship; and he
having become aware of this, but not of the special arrangements which
it was intended to make in his favour, gave way to despair and blew his
brains out before the arrival of Mynheer van Houting.
In the month of September 1765, Mir Mahanna, who still occupied Disastrous
Khargu and only a few of whose people had as yet returned to Rig, Dutch on^
gained a victory over his enemy Shaikh Nasir and proceeded to blockade Khargu by
... ii ' ji * MirMahanna,
Bushehr, insisting that the Dutch also should suspend their trade with October
that port. On the 9th of October Mynheer van Houting, who was 1765 -
unwilling to submit to the dictation of a savage, sent two large India-
men and three Gallivats against Khargu; and the Shaikh of Bushehr,
delighted at the turn of events, hastened with his fleet and a considerable
land force to join the Dutch. The Dutch burned one of Mir
Mahanna^s Gallivats and destroyed two others, but after this they could
do him no more damage from the sea, for he had carefully fortified his
position " and, so to speak, almost buried himself in the ground/" 7 At
length the allies decided on a landing ; and, as their disembarkation was
not opposed, they quickly reached the houses of the inhabitants, where
they all, even the Dutch European troops, gave themselves up to plunder.
Mir Mahanna, seeing the invaders scattered and disorganised, suddenly
attacked them with a body of cavalry, of which the existence even had
not been suspected, and drove them into the sea with heavy loss. On the
part of the Dutch 7 0 Europeans were killed, while about a dozen
escaped, wounded, by swimming off to the ships; and the Shaikh of
r was said to have lost 200 men. The Dutch were so weakened
that they found themselves obliged to return to Kharag
