02 PERSIAN auir ADMINISTRATION REPORT
On March 15th after Nasmllah, the Persian in charge of the JagV
had unsuccessfully tried to collect some taxes from the Looran vilW* !?'
latter were hauling a boat belonging to Messrs. Duarte Brothers on to L i tJl ?
when the Persian Sarbaz from the Port approached. The Baluchis been?
frightened walked away but were chased by the Persians. On getting to?
quarters the latter again asked the Baluchis if they intended paying the u
demanded ; the reply from the Loorames was that they had paid their tail ?
Mustafa Khan, the Chief, and did not intend paying them again, where!
the Persian soldiers opened fire on them killing Esau Dilwash and Mound
Pudulla, Abdullah Muhammad, Ibrahim Muhammad, Haji Kassim and jJ
Zangie. On the 17th, 70 or 80 Baluchis under Murad came in in a Tery excfi
state with the intention of besieging the Port and revenging themselves on I
Persians. They were however dissuaded and the Sarbazes were sent W
to Bushire by the next mail. At the end of March Mir Barkat wrote that b
would like to come in to see me if I was willing to receive him and ^onlj
gurantee him safe conduct. This was done and we met five and a half mil®
outside the Jask station on 5th April. _ He was most profuse in his profession
of friendship and expressed himself willing to do ^ anything we required, but I
was unable to induce him to promise to come into the station to meet tb
Director on his arrival as he had a great fear of the Military force stationei
there. A meeting was eventually arranged on the banks of the Jask creek ani
took place on the 13th April, Barkat being accompanied by about a hM
armed followers. During the interview the Director explained to Mir Barkat
that, as a condition of our recognition of him, we should require him to agree
to the following :—
(a) that he should reside in Jask permanently and not leaie it without
our knowledge;
(b) that he should abstain absolutely from either direct or indirect con*
nection with the slave traffic, arms traffic and Afghans;
(c) that he should deposit say Es. 10,000 as security for his adherence to
the above conditions.
He agreed to the second condition but, with regard to (a), he said he coi
not agree to live permanently in Jask as his means of livelihood were k
Bashkard. This condition was then gradually reduced till he was asked to fe
one month in three in Jask but, as he still refused to do this, the discussion oi
this clause was dropped. With regard to (c) he said that he had been deprive!
of his territory for two years and was unable to find the required security, Mt
that he would be able to find the amount three months after he was reinstate!
He was asked if he could find half the amount at once but said he could not
do so. Pinding that he was unwilling to agree to the terms offered the intei'
view was brought to a close. He promised to return and live quietly in Bast-
kard until such time as he could accept the terms offered to him by GroTerIl■
ment, but instead of doing so he instigated most of the raids described in tjaj
part of this report dealing with Biyaban and Jask. I have since heard tM
the real reason that Barkat refused the terms offered him was that when he w
pressed to live in Old Jask he became convinced that we asked this so that^
should be able to capture him.
Mullah Dadshah, the venerable and well disposed father — .
was murdered by Barkat's slaves on the night of the 27th April. The moij
for this cowardly crime was apparently that Mullah Dadshah was friendly 10
he British Government and Barkat wished to shew that he would cause an
aluch, fnendly to us, to suffer whatever his standing. He no doubt cod
dered that if he could make himself sufficiently troublesome to us we *
e wi ling to recognise him on his own terms. ,
