intending to proceed from there via Pusht-i-Kuh. Owing to the unruly
state of the Sagwand this proved impossible and they eventually made their
way up through the Bakhtiari country and Faraidan.
81. Lieutenant Meade, LA., travelled down from Ispahan by the
Bakhtiari road and reached Ahwaz on 5th June and left again immediately
for India. J
82. Mr. Perceval Landon, coirrespondent for the ' Daily Telegraph,'
travelled down from Tehran to Ispahan, where he applied to His Majesty's
Consul for assistance to continue his journey through the Bakhtiari country
to Ahwaz. The necessary arrangements were made and he left Julfa on 22nd
August. To prevent misapprehension and misstatements he was carefully
coached in regard to Bakhtiari affairs, and it is discouraging to hear that his
published letters are full of mistakes and absurd opinions. This is on hear
say, copies of the articles having not as yet been received here.
Mr. Landon proposed to visit the oil works and actually did so, but it is
interesting to note that he subsequently received from England a request
that he should not do so. He had written home before leaving Ispahan to
ensure that he should meet with a favourable reception by the Cojnpany's
Agents, and this was the answer, which however he only received at % Ahwaz.
He reached Ahwaz on 15th September and left the following day for India.
83. Political. —There have been no signs of Foreign political activity in Foreign
the district during the year, unless a political significance be attributed to the !Si£ and
tour of Herr Mygind, correspondent for the' Berliner Tageblatt'. This gentle
man travelled down from Ispahan through the Bakhtiari country, and after a
brief stay at Ahwaz left for Baghdad. From his articles it appears that he
met some of the Bakhtiari Khans, but efforts to obtain any definite informa
tion about his doings have proved fruitless. It is probably safe to judge
from this that he merely played the part of a passing traveller and did not
attempt to create any political relations. In his published letters he has
brought charges of personal discourtesy against His Majesty's Consul. As
he had never met the latter, and indeed was never within many days march
of him, it would appear that either his intelligence or his honesty is defective.
84. During the absence of His Majesty's Consul, M. ter Meulen,
Russian Consular Agent, in a fit of hot weather irritation, threatened with
assault a Seyyid, a British Indian subject, who was at the time living in
quarters adjoining M. ter Meulen's and was unfortunately rather noisy
in his morning devotions. The case was referred by Mr. Ahmed Khan, to
His Majesty's
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.

, Bushire, but h,s the
Seyyid had in the meantime left Nasiri and M. ter Meulen had suffered
more in loss of dignity than we had, it appeared unnecessary to prosecute
the matter further. It is not to British interest that M. ter Meulen
should be replaced by any one else. His maladroitness makes him a British
asset.
85. Messrs. ter Meulen, Gratama & Co. —This firm has continued to Commercial,
maintain its place as the only European rival of Messrs. Lynch Brothers in
the locality.
Owing to depression of trade the year has not been a prosperous one for
them—a fact of which they make no secret.
Mr. Gratama went up to Ispahan in May with the intention of starting

there, and remained till the end of September.
He made special efforts to secure a share in the carrying business on the
Ispahan-Ahwaz road, and a certain number of consignments for export were
received from the Tobacco Regie, who, I understand, have always touna
Messrs. Lynch Brothers' ways of business a stumbling block.
It is not believed however that Mr. Gratama made much headway in
building up a transport business.
M. lor Meulen proposes to visit Europe in the ensuing year, probably
leaving Ahwaz in February or March. Ill this case Mr. Gratama wi
repeat his visit to Ispahan. " f 2
