the Ka'ab Shaikh to make reparation for the injuries inflicted by him
m the British and on the Turks. The Kehiyah opened, and for some time
withheld; the letter from the Agent, though it had been handed to him by
a British officer for transmission ; but he communicated the substance of
it to Mr. Wrench, who had meanwhile returned to Basrah, informing him
that he intended to comply with the Persian demand, as, if he did not,
war between Persia and Turkey might be the result. The Turkish
force then retired from the neighbourhood of the Ka'ab capital upon
Qubban.
After receiving the Kehiyah's communication on the 7th of October, f f e -^ tat g^ pp
the Agent and Council deputed Mr^ Skipp, one of their number, to to the
visit the Kehiyah and protest against his decision, explaining that the
British looked to the Turks for redress and that they had nothing to do October
with the Persians. Mr. Skipp, in the Tartar, " left Basrah on the 10th
of October for Khor Musa; but, discovering by the way that the Kehiyah
was now at Qubban, he dismissed his vessel and proceeded thither via
the Karun. The Kehiyah assured Mr. Skipp that his retirement was
provisional, pending the receipt of replies from the

of Baghdad and
Earim Khan, to both of whom he had written, and that his Council of
notables had been unanimous in considering it necessary; he particularly
requested that the British vessels might be left where they were then
stationed, their expenses still continuing to be defrayed by the Turks ;
he undertook that certain promises which he had made to the Agent at
Basrah, in consideration of the help given to the Turks, should be fulfil
led ; and he excused himself for his detention of Karim Khan^s letter
to Mr. Wrench^ which he now handed to Mr. Skipp, by alleging that
he had feared it might miscarry. The Kehiyah also announced that, in
the course of a few days, he would remove his camp to the mouth of the
Karun, " where he entreated the Agent wou^d favour him with an inter
view, when he would settle every point with him so as to give full
satisfaction.'' Mr. Skipp returned to Basrah on the 16th of October
and made his report in Council on the following day.
On the 19th, Mr. Skipp having fallen ill, it was decided to send
Mr. Hollamby to the Kehiyah to impress on him very clearly the respon
sibility of the Turks for redress of injuries suffered by the British from
the Ka'ab, to insist on the punctual discharge of the instalments of the
subsidy for the squadron, and to decline the interview offered to the
Agent on the ground that the latter was indisposed; but the result of
this further step, if indeed it was actually taken, is not ascertainable.
