Chief of Rig, Shaikh Nasir for settling there instead ; but the Shaikh would not agree
to cede the customs on British goods except on condition of receiving a
fixed payment of R b . 1,500 a year. Eventually the IJesident, in consequence
of remonstrances and orders from Bandar J Abbas, proceeded to Rig
where he arrived in June. He found no merchants present at the port,
but the chief Mir Husain, who had been summoned to Shiraz by Karim
Khan and was on the point of leaving, postponed his departure for three
days, readily granted the privileges which Mr. Wood had been directed
to solicit, and assured him that " the credit of the English would very
" soon draw all the merchants back again to Bunderick and restore the
"place to its former flourishing condition/'
The demeanour of the inhabitants of Rig became so insolent after
their chiefs departure that the Resident withdrew to Basrah and thee to
Bushehr, where he proposed to remain until Mir Husain's return to Rig;
