ever, almost his last official act was an attempt to restore prosperity to
Hawizeh by rebuilding the dyke at Kut Nahr Hashim,—an undertaking
in which he was defeated by an unusually high rise of the river.

accordingly arrived at Muhammareh in the spring of 1843 ; but a few
months later Haji Jabir, who no longer needed their support, succeeded
in getting them taken away again by creating commissariat difficulties.
A Persian officer with a small 'escort continued, however, to reside at
Muhammareh as the representative of his Government; and Shaikh
Jabir, who had to consider the danger in which he stood from Turkish as

nual payment of 500 paistres or about £40 which has hitherto been regularly made to
the Turkish authorities at Basrah by or on behalf of the Ka'ab Shaikh as ground rent for
the town, ceased ; but that, ever after the occupation, a payment of 300 tons of dates in
kind continued to be made year by year to the Basrah officials on account of the tracts
known as Tamar and Halfar. No authority is given by Major Rawlinson for these
statements, which perhaps therefore only reflect the assertions of Turkish officials at
Basrah. It is worth noting that nowhere else in the works and records consulted in
the compilation of this Gazetteer has any reference been found to the payment of land
revenue by the Ka ab or Muhaisin to the Turkish Government ; and, from the history
of their relations, such payment womld seem improbable. A reference to the article
" Haffar " in Yolume II of this Gazetteer will show that the tract really so named lies
well within the Karun, some distance above Muhammareh.
