and more than we looked for." In all 20,631 Qrans were recovered on
this expedition, including a sum paid in by Shaikh Jabir on behalf of
Shaikh Muhammad-bin-Faris, and a deposit of 5,200 Qrans made by

on account of plunder which the prisoner Ahtaib,
a slave, was supposed to have made over to his owners, the Halail family,
Shaikhs of Buziyeh.
In all the equivalent of Es. 13,430 had been recovered and 12
prisoners arrested on Persian soil, and more could not be obtained, though
some of the " Cashmere" property was unaccounted for and a few
criminals remained at large. The conduct of Shaikh Jabir had been so
praiseworthy throughout that the Government of India sanctioned the
presentation to him in acknowledgment thereof, on Colonel Herberts
recommendation, of a six-oared cutter from Bombay to cost Rs. 600 or
700; and the single gun still fired as a salute by the vessels of the British
ludia Steam Navigation Company in passing the Shaikh of Muhammareh^s
riverside residence commemorates the gratitude of the owners of the
Cashmere " for Haji Jabir's exertions. The " Comet" was employed
for seven months in connection with the case, and Mr. Robertson spent in
all 122 days on board of her; but the energy, time, and money devoted by
the British authorities to enforcing reparation in Turkey and Persia were
not disproportionate to the result. The effects of their assiduity, without
which substantial satisfaction would not have been obtained, were
salutary and durable; and in the forty years that have since elapsed no
offence against British shipping at all comparable with the " Cashmere "
piracy has been registered in either Persian or Turkish waters.
About the middle of October 1873 a small native-rigged sailing
vessel under British colours was plundered in the Doraq or Buziyeh
branch of Khor Musa; but strong orders for the arrest of the robbers
and the recovery of the value of the articles taken were obtained
from the Persian Government at Tehran.
In 1875, when relations between Shaikh Jabir of Muhammareh and
the Persian Central Government were somewhat disturbed, as has been
mentioned before, an article by Dr. Pollak formerly physician to the
Shah of Persia, appeared in the Neue Freie IPresse newspaper of Vienna,
suggesting that the Shaikh was about to throw off his allegiance to the
Persian Government and transfer his principality to the British, to whom
it would be a valuable acquisition as affording them a line of military
advance into the interior of Persia and, consequently, a means of
counteracting Russian progress in Central Asia. A translation of this
