eause. The result of 1ns operations seems to have been the expulsion of
the Bani MVin from Qishm.
In 1757 Naeir Klian invaded Shamil, but he had to return in haste to
Lar ; an attack on which by Karim Khan was apprehended. Mulla 'Ali
Shah still continued to withhold from Nasir Khan a sum of 1,000 Tumans
and two brass guns which he had often promised to give him; and in
this year, much to the indignation of the Khan, he placed himself beyond
the latter's reach by retiring to Hormuz and at the same time persuaded
a number of the chief inhabitants of Bandar 'Abbas to retire likewise to
islands.
At the beginning of 1758 Mulla 'Ali Shah was still at Hormuz;
Larak at this time also belonged to him; and he was strong in a
matrimonial alliance which existed between his family and that of the
Qasimi Shaikh of Has-al-Khaimah. In March of this year Dr. Ives
visited Bandar 'Abbas with a party of the Company's servants who were
on their way to Europe by way of Turkish 'Iraq ; and he mentions, in his
account of his journey, that the Khan of Lar had about 5,000 armed men
at his disposal and that he had lately defended his capital with success
against Karim Khan. A few days before Dr. Ives's arrival Nasir Khan,
on the complaints of the British and the Dutch, sent a force against a
petty chief near 'Isin who had interrupted the wool trade with Kirman,
and the robber was dislodged from his fort and about 70 of his men were
slam; but, unfortunately, a detachment of the Khan's force allowed
themselves to be surprised by a party of the enemy after their success,
and lost several killed. Among these last was the Khan's chief officer,
and the Surgeon of the British

was called in to attend the
wounded. At Bandar 'Abbas, at the time of Dr. Ives's visit, no
inhabitants remained except the dependants of the European Factories
and a few Hindu and Persian merchants. In June the fort of Shamll
was taken by an enemy of the Khan of Lar and that of 'Isin was
seized by a party sent by Mulla 'Ali Shah; and these two incidents,
both disagreeable to the Khan, were celebrated with firing of guns
and distribution of presents by Mulla 'Ali Shah, who remained
on Hormuz, and whose rashly defiant conduct occasioned general
surprise. Towards the end of the year Muhammad Vali Khan, a com
mander in Karim Khan's army, appeared in Lar and began to plunder
the country; he defeated Nasir Khan, killing his principal lieutenant, and
obliged him to fortify himself in the town of Lar; and so general was
the alarm caused by his presence that even Shehryari, the chief of Minab,
thought it time to levy a contribution of Es. 30,000 from his subjects
