of Bombay, who apparently thought that the expenses of a guardsbip
would be heavier than anticipated by Mr. Price and to whom, moreover,
a scheme for stationing* not one but three guardships in the Gulf appears
to have been submitted. In September 1764, Karim Khan, who was
then encamped with a large force in the Bakhtiyari country, was believed
to be contemplating the reduction of Mir Mahanna in the month of
November or December following, for which purpose he was desirous of
the help of one or two British vessels to prevent the escape of the rebel
by sea ; and it was reported that " he was willing to assign the Hon ; ble

was returning down the Gulf from Basrah to India, when she encountered
off the island of Qishm a violent gale from the south-east, before whicH
she was obliged to run to Mughu. The places of a number of her
crew, lost on the outward voyage and at Basrah, had been supplied
by the enlistment at the latter place of a dozen Arab sailors, the
remainder of the original crew were, with one exception, Indians;
and the only true Europeans on board were the Captain and his three
officers. Among the passengers were some Armenian merchants. At
Mughu on the 6th of February, the ship being short of provisions and
