kindred spirits. 0 er

men from Hasina under Charek, owing to the oppression nf fi?'
Sowlet-ul-Mulk, Deputy Governor of Bastek.
The incidents arose as follows :—
(a) As was mentioned incidentally in last year's report, the island of
Kais is actually the property of the Kowam family who eniov it
by a deed of gift from Nasr-ed-Din Shah conforriog possession
without power of alienation; but, beyond placing it under tb
revenue jurisdiction of the Sowet-ul-Mulk, Chief of Bastek
through the Sheikh of the port of Charek, the Kowatn family
seem to have taken no practical interest in it. The island is of
no little interest to us however as containing a considerable
community of British Indian traders engaged in the pearl and
piecegoods trade. Hitherto the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. Agent at Lingah in
whose immediate sphere the island lies, has been able to promote
the interests of our subjects through the friendly offices of tbe
Sheikh of Charek; but in July 1907 the latter falling foul of
his overlord, the Deputy Governor of Bastek, was thrown into
prison, and during his incarceration a truculent petty Sheikh of
the A1 A li tribe, having seized the fort which commands tbe
island during the temporary absence of the titular incumbent
proceeded to exercise functions of Government and to line bis
pockets by practising all sorts of extortion upon the inhabitants,
including British subjects, whose commu dcation with Lincah
be then cut off in order to prevent their complaints reaching the
Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. Agent. The latter however eventuallv heard what
was going on and sent his brother with Sheikh Saleh of Charek
who had now been released, to the island in a sailing boat flving
the Britrsh flag, in order to visit the Hindu community and take
steps for their welfare. Tne boat on approaching the island was
fired upon from the beach by Sheikh Mahomed's tofangchis and
having failed to effect a landing, was obliged to return to
Charek, A day or two later the Sheikh, evidently becoming
trightened at what he had done, proceeded to write to the
Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. Agent, attempting to excuse his conduct by saying
that the Deputy Governor of Bastek had dven'him'the
strictest orders not to allow any vessel flying the British fla^ to
approach the island; these orders were said to have been sent
owing to the report given currency to by the anti-British clique
m ingah that the visit of H.M.S. Lapwing whicli a few
months before had attempted to survey a new shoal reported off
tie island, was really an essay on the part of the British
Government to seize it. Unfortunately at the time neither the
Lawrence, nor a man-of-war was available to proceed to the
spo an by the time the Resident had waited a fortnight for the
■Persepolts to start with the Derya Begi, he himself proceeding
in the Lawrence, the errant Sheikh had escaped to the mainland.
