in the stability of present conditions.
11. In the middle of November two political prisoners, Shaikhs of theCha h
tribe, made their escape from Failiyah. The more important of these was Shaikh
Sultan of the Mujaddam section.
The occurrence was considered of some seriousness, and the Shaitkh himself
seemed apprehensive that the fugitives would take refuge with the Bakhtiari
Chiefs.
Within a few days however they were recaptured in the Amara Marshes and
handed back to the Shaikh.
12. In the latter part of February the long talked of marriage between Shaitkh
Khazal's son, Shaikh Chasib, Nusret ul Mulk, and Haji Rais's daughter was con
summated with great celebrations at Failiyah. The person chiefly to be congra
tulated may be assumed to be Haji Rais.

hood of Shush, and in southern Arabistan with the Shaitkh of Muhammerah, and
local charge has been held by various of his subordinates, e.g., the Mir Punj, com
manding the "troops" at Shushter, and the Telegraph Sarhang at Dizful.
During the earlier part of the period, Dizful was committed to the hands of
Shahab i Lashkar, a petty Bakhtiari chief from the neighbourhood of Silakhor,
who was on bad terms with the ruling chiefs of the Bakhtiaris.
14. The

Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Mukarram's administration of Northern Arabistan has been,
as things go in Persia, peculiarly successful. He is a clever, unscrupulous man,
who suffers acutely from the especially Persian vice of money-hunger. This vice
impels him to every form of oppression and extortion.
15. The comparatively high standard of security of life and property which
has resulted was broken for a short time in December by robberies which occurred
on the Shushter—Dizful Road. These were committed by Bakhtiaris and were
probably instigated by the Khans, who are not on good terms with the

There were also local disturbances at Gotwand in the Aqili district at various
times during the year, consequent on the treatment accorded to one of the princi
pal men of the place, named Haji Abul Fateh by the Bakhtiari Khans. There was
some disagreement between the Khans and the

Haider, the paramount, chief was dispossessed and replaced by two men,
Mizban and Khuraibat, the, latter his cousin, but this arrangement proving
unsatisfactory he has again been admitted to a share of authority. His son

The weakening of his enemies must be a subject of much satisfaction to Shaikh
Farhan of the Bait S'ad, who has always rendered a qualified obedience to the
Governor of Shushter, and is subservient to the Shaikh of Muhammerah,
