chiefly arose, during the period under consideration, from the insecurity
which generally prevailed in Northern 'Arabistan,
The stafce of that sub-province in 1896-97 was, as we have already Murderous
seen, one of chaos; and British subjects and firms were among the Mr. Tanfield»

mutilated. Such an incident might have occurred under any Govern
ment ; but this one was invested with an exceptional character by
the conduct of a crowd who, on the following day, pursued with yelis
and stone-throwing a party conveying the wounded man to a steamer.
Mr. Tanfield^s assistant was arrested, but at first nothing further was
done; and it was only after the outrage had become the subject of
diplomatic repiesentations that the offender was removed to Tehran and
there imprisoned. The Nizam-us-Saltaneh, Governor-General of the
province, and his brother and deputy, the Sa^ad-ul-Mulk, who had
shown gross negligence if not prejudice in their treatment of the case,
were removed from office.
In January 1897 a mob, after pillaging a caravan belonging to
Messrs. Lynch on its way between Shushtar and Shalaili, the anchorage
for steamers, invaded and completely sacked the office of Messrs. Hotz,
a Dutch firm under British protection, in the town.
Shortly afterwards order was in some measure restored by the A'la-
ud-Douleh, who succeeded the Nizam-us-Saltaneh as Governor-General;
but no compensation was obtained by Messrs. Lynch or Messrs. Hotz
for their losses. In 1898 it was still impossible for any European to
reside at Sbushtar.
