CHAPTER V.

After the deportation of Mir Barkat, in Maroh last, the Biyaban district
Jask aud Biyaban District. * aS . .'practically divided into two, Mir
s Haji taking from Kuh Mamai to Boon-
daran, and Mir Mustapha from Kuh Mubarak to Melakani Chedak. Mir
Barkat's subjects felt convinced that the Darya Begi would let Barkat return
from Bandar Abbas, but when they realised that he was really a prisoner in
Bushire, they decided that their only chance of helping Barkat was'to get the
country iiito such a lawless state that Government would permit Barkat to
return to restore order. With this in view, Dadulla, Seyyid Abdul Rahim,
Ahdulla Dervish, and several others of Barkat's followers induced Mir
Mustapha to leave Old Jask, on 15th May, and to throw in his lot with them.
T^ey intended existing by raiding and told Mir Mustapha that if he did not
join them, Mir Barkat would certainly be revenged on his return. The day
after Mustapha left Old Jask, the Jask detachment of the 117th Mahrattas
marched through the place, and by thus showing that we intended protecting
it, they prevented any raiding in the immediate vicinity. Jemadar Dilmorad
succeeded in bringing Mir Mustapha into Jask, on 17th June, when he express
ed sorrow for what he had done. Mir Mustapha seemed to recognise that he had
been ili-adyised by DadullV and he was asked to bring him in. He expressed
his willingness, but it soon became apparent that he was reluctant to do so.
Ilisson Cherag was therefore kept in the compound at Jask and Mir Mus
tapha was told that his son would not be given his liberty till Dadulla was pro
duced; this had the desired effect, and Dadulla was brought in by Mir Mus
tapha on 7th July. Dadulla was sent down to India as a prisoner, but, on
August the 25th, T heard quite by chance that he was at large in Karachi, and
intended returning to Jask by the mail which was about to leave. This in
formation was wired tp the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. , Mask at, who was fortunately able
to arrange that he should not land at Jask but go on to Lingah. Mir Barkat
escaped from Bushire at the end of August during the absence of the Darya
Begi in Tangistan. He travelled overland and was accompanied by one of
his slaves; they reached Kuhistak at the end of September and went to his
home at Jagdan in Bashkard, Soon after Barkat's return, Seyyid Abdulla
with 15 of.I^arkat's men rushed Mir Kamber's house at Tajak at dawn one
morning, severely wounding Mir Kamber and killing four of his slaves.
During September Barkat's adherent^ formed two parties, one under Abdulla
Dervish and Seyyid Abd\illa, and the other under Yar Muhammad, Muham
mad Abd^Nabbi, and Noor Muhammad. The former threatened old Jask
but owing to s6m6 support being given to Mir Mustapha and the inhabitants
of old Jask, they contented themselves with looting 100 goats, 4 camels, 20
cows, 2 donkeys and the contents of two huts between Zaraki and Soorkoh.
The latter party were reported by Mir Haji to have looted 1,000 maunds of
wheat, 500 bustas of dates, 100 goats and to have burnt twenty huts near
Sarzhai. MJr Barkat seems to have come down to Biyaban with a large
following, but at this distance I have been unable to gather information which
is sufficiently accurate to record, regarding Barkat's doings and the attempt to
catch him at Sarzeh at the end of December. The situation in Biyaban
cannot be said to be satisfactpry and there is little hope of its being improved
until Mir Barkat is either recognised or removed.
On the 4th April 200 Bashkardies attacked about 650 Afghans at Sarzeh,
the latter had t\vo wounded whilst the former lost twelve killed and two cap
tured, these two were afterwards killed and burnt.
