own possession Nasir Khan^s share of the plunder was said soon after to
have come on the fall of Lar ; but the Company's servants did not lose
sight of the case ; and a few years later it became, as we shall see further
on^ the indirect cause of another and far more serious disaster.
In the spring- of 1765 ; Karim Khan in person undertook an expe
dition against the refractory Ka^ab tribe of ^Arabistan ; and at the same
time he caused a force of about 1J00 mounted and 500 unmounted men
to be assembled at Khurmuj near Bushehr, under the orders of Amir
Kuhneh Khan, for the purpose of reducing Mir Mahanna of Rig to
obedience. The Rig expedition, of which the proceedings at Khurmuj
are noticed again further on, was delayed for three months or more by
the inability of the commander to find a naval ally of sufficient strength
to cope with Mir Mahanna and prevent his escape by sea ; for the
Shaikh of JBushehr^s small fleet by itself was unequal to the task, and
the other petty Shaikhs of the coast, whose position resembled that of
Mir Mahanna in that they did not as yet pay tribute to the Persian
Government, could not be relied on to act against him. Karim Khan,
in these difficult circumstances, turned to the Dutch Governor of Kharag
and to the British Resident at Bushehr. From the former. Mynheer
Buschman, he received no encouragement ; but Mr. Jervis, considering
the occasion to be one on which the services of a vessel might properly
be lent to the

Bushehr on a subject of such importance, instead of to themselves, and
by Mr. Jervis s having neglected to forward them the VakiFs letter, made
difficulties about complying with this request; they represented that the
Tartar was unfit for the duty, and that she might miss her passage to
India and be detained in the Gulf during the whole monsoon to the
Company 's great inconvenience ; and they urged that the attack on Rig
was not likely to be a complete success, and that, if it even partially
failed, Mir Mahanna might afterwards make a descent on Bushehi';
besides attacking every British vessel bound up the Gulf. In the end
however, they thought it best to leave the decision and the responsibility
to Mr. Jervis, which they did by instructions dated the 25th of March;
and a few days later they sent him the " Tartar for employment, if
required, both in the business of Mir Mahanna and in the a Islamabad
