then for a time it was carried on by the Shaikh of Mohammerah, until June
when His Excellency Nizam-us-Sultaneh was appointed Govern or-General of
Arabistan and Luristan. After considerable delay in Tehran, which he utilized
in getting a loan from the Imperial Bank of Persia on the security of some of
his lands, the Nizam reached Khurramabad in August. He had been specially
appointed to pacify Luristan, but was unable to do much. In fact his efforts

he never took up the appointment. The office of Karguzar at Mohammerah
is a sinecure as all business is done with the Shaikh and Haji Rais or the

Custom8 end of May, when he became ill and left
for Bushire, where he died on the 5th
