to exclude that chief from the Ohahbar fort. Din Muhammad on
becoming aware of these orders established himself in *.he fort and
professing 1 to hold it in Saiyid Turki's interest, requested Tcrki's per
mission to resist the demands of 'Abdul ^Aziz by force if necessary ; and
a little later Muhammad 'Ali, chief of Bahu, whose help had been
solicited by 'Abdul 'Aziz, also wrote offering his services to Saiyid
Tnrki. These proposals, which by the advice of the British political
officers were declined, induced Saiyid Turki to seek the aid of the
British Government in expelling 'Abdul 'Aziz from Gwadar and
Chahbar: the meagre results of his application have already been
mentioned above.
In the meantime 'Abdul 'Aziz did not desist from his efforts to
capture Chahbar. In September 1871 he started by land for that place
with a following of 150 of the Rind tribe and others ; but the chief of
Bahu, whose attitude has already been described, induced him on this
occasion to return to Gwadar. In October, having received promises
of assistance from Husain Khan, chief of Gaih, 'Abdul 'Aziz again
took the route for Chahbar, this time with a few companions only ;
but once more he was obliged to fall back on Gwadar without having
accomplished anything. About the same time Saiyid Tnrki sent the
former Wali of the place, Rashid-bin-Hamad, to Chahbar on a special
mission ; but the envoy failed in his object, of which the precise nature
is not known, and returned to Masqat in the following month.
At length, on the 15th of January 1872, Saiyid 'Abdul 'Aziz left
his headquarters on pretext of a shooting excursion in the interior;
after placing a few miles between himself and Gwadar he embarked in
a Dangi; and shortly after he arrived at Chahbar, where the fort, held
only by two or three men under Aghi, a son of Din Muhammad, fell
into his hands without resistance. The fact that the boat on which
Abdul 'Aziz sailed for Chahbar belonged to Sohar and brought letters
from the chief of that place lent colour to a supposition that the
coup had been instigated, or at least suggested, by Ibrahim-bin-Q.ais.
, Abdul 'Aziz was not destined, however, long to enjoy the fruits
of this venture. With Din Muhammad he concluded an arrangement by
which he was to remain in undisturbed possession of Chahbar while the
matter was referred to Saiyid Turki; but Sartip Ibrahim Khan, the Persian
Governor of Bampur, was less accommodating. Early in February 'Abdul
Aziz leceived a letter from the Sartip stating that Chahbar belonged to
Persia, and desiring him personally, in case he desired Persian recognition,
to wait on the Sartip at Qasrkand for the purpose of entering into the
necessary arrangements. It is worthy of remark that the
