Similarly a few days later some Arab passengers, bound foit
their home at Shargah on board one of the Bombay Persian
Company's steamers, having had some dispute among themselves,
the Deputy Governor had them taken off the ship and exercised
direct jurisdiction over them, again refusing the intervention of
our Agent. At this time the Derya Begi was on the Mekran
Coast on an urgent missson and no speedy retribution was
therefore possible. On his return, however, he repudiated the
action of his Deputy, and, while stating that he himself had
specific instructions not to admit our intervention in behalf of
Bahreinis in any form, he agreed to see that justice was done to
Ibrahim bu Khalil and to remove his Deputy from Lingah on
account of his general hostility to our interests. This he
proceeded to do, and the case of the Bahreini was in a satis

at
the close of the year. His Majesty's Government finding
the juncture inconvenient for ex-tcting satisfaction from the
Central Government and a formal admission of our rights to
protect natives of Bahrein, over which principality Persia still
continues to formulate periodically fatuous claims of sovereignty,
this local settlement with the Derya Begi was the most that
could be effected. ^ It is obvious, however, that until His Majesty's
Government are in a position to raise the general issue and see
it to a conclusion, similar incidents, especially if the Parliamentary
Government endures, will from time to time recur.
(c) Both the above incidents may be traced to the evil influence in
Lingah of one ALi-es-Sultan, " a Young Persian," pi .ced in the
position of Director of Customs owing to the insistence of the
Tehran Majlis on tne employment of Persians in the administra
tion wherever possible. This individual came from the Caspian
Customs with an evil reputation, which he speedily proceeded to
justify, and though he (has since been y got rid of, a mischievous
Anjuman which he established at -Lingah, composed of every
anti-British element in the port, is still a source of no little
inconvenience to us. Ala-es-Sultan began by altogether refusing
to take cognizance of any document written in English, and by
abusing every Persian in British employ who came near him.
After the formation of his Anjuman on which he associated
with himself the Russian Agent, Sadeed-es-Sultaneh, and one
or two other ^kindred spirits, he^ used to use its meetings as a
means for assailing British interests ; commenting, in his lectures,
on all questions of current prominence with which we are
connected, such as the Abu Musa dispute; the visit, of the Lapwng
to Rais; the protection of Bahreinis, etc., and impressing on
hi* ignorant hearers that Abu Musa and Bahrein were really
Persian territory filched by the English, that the English had no
right to protect anyone but Englishmen and jiatives of India, and
so on ad nauseam. After repeated representations to His
Majesty's Legation and by them to the Central authorities, .in
Wliich we apparently had the full support of the Belgian Customs
Administration, the Ala-es-Sultan was at last removed from his
post and ordered to leave the Gulf, but not before he had done
a great deal of harm. The hostile attitude of the Deputy
Governor Safar Ali Khan is entirely traceable to his having fallen
under the baneful influence of the Ala-es-Sultan, Sadeed-es-
Sultaneh and their associates.

visited the Shibkuh part of Moghoo to take in marriage the
