BandaT Ahhas District. —In view of the presence of a stronger Persian
force at Bandar Abbas, internal disorder except in the outlying district of
Biyaban was not so marked as in previous years.
In July some fighting occurred between rival Zabits at Kishar in the vicinity
of Bandar Abbas and resulted in a few casualties.
On August 18th a local merchant Haji Ali Surooi, was kidnapped bv Kouri-
stanis a few miles from this town but was released a few days later "by Syed
Abdullah of Biyaban who pursued the tribesmen.
Minah—Thefts were rife in the town in the early part of the year, due
chiefly to the activities of the followers of the notorious outlaws Ibrahim Khan
and Abbas Khan, encouraged to a great extent by the inaction of Salar-i-Nizam.
After a momentary lull, the depredations of the above mentioned brigands
Were extended to the surrounding villages and assumed somewhat serious pro
portions in August,
It is true that four or five persons were arrested by the authorities, but no
recovery or restitution of stolen property in the majority of instances was
recorded.
There was a decided improvement in the^ condition of the Minab district in
the last three months of the year under review, attributable to its separation
from the Bandar Abbas administration, and the appointment of Salar-i-
Ihtesham as Deputy Governor. The strengthening of the garrison had a bene
ficial effect too.
On December 16th, a small body of regulars under Naib Sani Mirza Hussain
Khan accompanied by Kaid Mahomed Ali a former Deputy Governor was
despatched to Azimabad to arrest Abbas Khan. The latter escaped to Rudan
owing to an unfortunate incident en route in which the

Biyaban.—The chronic state of unrest that has existed in the Minab district
for many years can properly be ascribed to the promptings of Mir Barakat
Khan and to the activities of his adherents in that locality or of his immediate
refractory followers.
The attention of the Central Government was directed towards the final
subjugation of this notorious Chieftain but preoccupations in other parts of
Persia have perhaps stayed their hands in employing military force to attain
their object.
Early in March Mir Barakat finding himself in a tight corner owing to the
presence of an appreciably strong force of regulars based at Minab and drawn
from the Kerman army for the purpose of enforcing Zargham-es-Sultaneh, of
Eudbar into submission, fled from his stronghold when called upon to present
himself at headquarters. He reached Bandar Abbas in a
dhow

and informed
the local authorities that the object of his arrival was to tender his submission
to the Persian Government.
He put up in the house of an Awazi Contractor for Crown Lands, and al
though supposed to be under military surveillance, secretly left for his country
at the end of March.
_ During his stay, he was summoned to the Telegraph Office and had conver
sations on two occasions with the Officer Commanding at Kerman.
It is believed that Salar-i-Nizam and the Officer Commanding Troops at
Bandar Abbas both connived at Mir Barakat's departure.
Towards the close of the year, the Central Government, owing to the fact of
their having troops to spare near at hand were in a more favourable position
to take definite action against Mir Barakat who has for years past defied their
authority and been a thorn in the administration of this outlying district.
It is expected that operations will be shortly undertaken to put an end, for
all time, to the depredations of this recalcitrant Chief and establish order and
security in the Minab and Biyaban districts.
Kishm Island. —Some little trouble occurred during the closing days of
1923 owing to an order issued by the Provincial Director of Customs to leVy
teskhera fees. The inhabitants of the village of Kishm who trade in dhows
with the Oman Coast resented the order as th#fees had not hitherto been col
lected from them.
