FOR THE YEAR 1917.
CHAPTER II.
administration report por the lingah vice-consulate
FOR THE YEAR 1917.
Mr. G. A. G. MunGavin held charge
of the Vice-Consulate throughout the year.
Muhammad Reza Khan, the Satwat-ul-Mamalik, son of the Khan of
, ~ . iiastak, who was still Deputy Governor
Lo,al at the close of 1916, left Liugah on the
12th of January in order to meet His Excellency the Qawam-ul-Mulk, who
was touring in the Laristan and Shih-Kuh districts. From 12th January to
23rd February the following individuals, in turn, carried on the current duties
on behalf of the Satwat-ul-Mamalik
(1) Haroon-al-Rashid Khan, 13th to 26th January.
(2) Shaikh Sal eh of Charak, 27 th January to 2ord February.
Owing to the Satwat-ul-Mamalik having induced the Qawam-ul-Mulk to
take certain undesirable action in the Shib-Kuh ports (which will be referred
to later on in this report), it was not considered desirable that he should be
allowed to return to Lingah, as Deputy Governor, and His Excellency the
Darya Begi therefore appointed Abdul Rasool Khan, ex-Kalantar of Bushire,
who took over the duties of Deputy Governor from 24th February. Abdul
Rasool Khan, although he at first showed a desire to work fairly well, was
nevertheless, without the slightest doubt, about the most hopeless and impossible
man the port has ever had the misfortune to have as Deputy Governor. He
was dismissed by His Excellency the Darya Begi, and left for Bushire on 9th
September. The Finance Agent, Shaikh Muhammad Hassan, acted as Deputy
Governor up to 7th October, when the newly appointed Deputy Governor,
Kohandal Khan, son of the Deputy Governor of Bandar Abbas arrived and
took over charge. Kohandal Khan, the Etamad-i-Nizam, was still in office at
the close of the year.
Kohandal Khan, though very young and a trifle inexperienced, has
hitherto worked very well indeed and has always shown great friendliness
towards the Vice-Consulate.
Muhammad Tahnoon, who w^as Agent for His Highness the Sultan of
Muscat, at the close of last year, was
Foreign repregematives. dismissed on 12th April 1917, and Hajee
Ahmad bin Yusuf Khawajah, a nominee of the Vice-Consulate, was appointed
in his place. The new Agent is on friendly terms with the British and works
well
Monsieur Cattersell, remained in charge of the Customs Department until
the 23rd of November when he handed
c,58tom8 ' over charge to an Armenian Clerk named
CarnigK. Kevorkian. He left on the 27th idem for Naseri.
Monsieur Dimadis, the former Director at Naseri, was appointed to
Linsah, but up to the end of the year had not arrived.
Relations between the Vice-Consulate and the Customs Department were
most cordial throughout the year.
Shaikh Muhammad Hassan relieved the Asaf-ul-Mulk, on 6th April, as
Finance Agent. The former is a great
Finance Departmant. improvement on his predecessor and during
the time he has been in office there has been a decided improvement in local
receipts. Shaikh Muhammad Hassan has worked more or less throughout in
consultation with His Majesty's Representative.
Laristan. —Except for a few petty robberies committed against caravans,
the province of Lar enjoyed a most
CoDdition Of country. peaceful year.
