games, and put Kal Ismail in chains and bastinadoed him so severely that
some of his toes dropped off ; he also started to levy very heavy Eahdari on
caravans. This however proved too much for the Persian authorities, and
instructions were issued for his dismissal, which he refused to obey assuming a
most truculent attitude and making preparations to resist any force sent to

subsequently discovered that His Excellency never paid it into the Bank and

security was a farce and m point of fact Sheikh Mohamed has not behaved
very well, having oppressed and harried his uncle Sheikh Abdullai who was
installed as ^ban during the Bushire operations, and who was given the
