prom Bampur Persian control was quickly extended southwards
the Baluch Chiefdoms of Gaih and Qasrkand. Gaih was held at
^ time by a Gichki chief named Mir ; Abdullah-bin-Murad
Huhammad ; who seems to have been carried off to Kirman by the
Persian authorities and detained there for a year until a sum of
over £500 had been collected and paid into the Persian Treasury on
fa behalf by Din Muhammad, the Jadgal chief of Bahu. Din
was then appointed Persian Deputy Governor of some of
the Baluch tribal districts under Bampur; and in that capacity he after
wards took part in levying an annual contribution of 100 camels, besides
occasional lump sums in cash, from his former friend the Chief of Gaih.
The political status of the Jashk district, when examined in 1861,
was different from that of the eastern districts just mentioned. It was
apart of Biyaban, as the term a Biyaban " was then understood ; and as
such it was included in the Persian fief of Bandar ^ Abbas and its depen
dencies held by the Sultan of ^Oman. The Sultanas tenure of the district
was of old standing, but it had lately been confirmed, its terms being at
the same time more strictly defined, by a Treaty concluded between him
and the Shah in 1856. The Governor of Jashk on the part of Masqat
in 1861 was one Mir Husain ; and the Sadaich stream then, as now,
marked approximately the eastern limit of the district.
By 1861 Mir 'Abdullah of,Gaih had recovered his position as the
principal chief in the Makran districts east of Jashk. The coast from
Sadaich eastwards to Tiz was under his direct authority, and the name
of Din Muhammad of Bahu was respected, on the seaboard, at Gwatar
only. Inland, to the north of the maritime districts with which we are
concerned, the Persians were engaged in extending their effective con
trol eastwards. They were reported to have occupied Dizak and Sarbaz
and to be meditating an attack on Kaij, the chief place in the Makran
territories of the Khan of Kalat.
The town of Chahbar, forming as it were a very small enclave in the
coast districts to the east of Jashk, belonged in 1861 to the Sultan of
'Oman, by whose family it had been held as a conquest since 1792-, en
tirely without reference to Persia.
