cadet ; and no useful service was done^ in the hostilities that took
place_, except by the " Tartar and by the Gallivat under Mr. Natter.
During the night of the 4th of June^ 5 Gallivats and a Batil which
Mir Mahanna had caused to be drawn up on shore were set afloat again;
and the next mornings when they were descried standing* over towards
the coast of the mainland, they were pursued by the Anglo-Persian fleet
and a harmless exchange of shots took place at very long ranges ; but at
sunset, though still visible to the south-east, they had not been over
taken. Daybreak of the 6th of June found Mir Mahanna's vessels
returned in safety and stationed between Kharag and Khargu, while the
British and Persian fleet was scattered in different directions ; and the
Shaikh's son had gone with two vessels to Bushehr, apparently to confer
with his father and to attribute the failure of the allies to neglect of his
own valuable advice by the British Commander. Captain Price and
Mr. Natter, unsupported by the large Bushehr vessel, which kept care
fully out of the way, then attempted a direct attack upon Mir MahaiWs
craft; but these replied with so hot a fire and were so well seconded by
shore batteries on Khargu that the assailants found themselves obliged to
retire, and in the afternoon they anchored again off Kharag. Several
days of inaction followed, and on the 10th of June one of the Persian
Gallivats was damaged and rendered useless by a violent storm from the
north-east* On the 15th, three Gallivats and a Batil of Mir Mahanna
were seen to have left Khargu, and it was conjectured that they had gone
to encounter the Shaikh's son, who was believed to be on the point of
returning from Bushehr. Much confusion was created during the next
night by some blank firing from the Dutch guns on Kharag, which was
ordered by the Governor, Mynheer Buschman, partly as a practical joke
and partly to test the preparedness of his own garrison for an emergencj,
and was not understood by the belligerents. On the 16th an engage
ment between four vessels of Mir Mahanna's fleet and three belonging
to that of Shaikh Nasir appeared to be imminent; but it was averted by
the accidental appearance of a large British ship from Madras, which
bore straight down upon the combatants in ignorance of what they were
about, and so gave them an excuse—not unwelcome to either-for
separating.
aut On the 19th of June the Shaikh's son and the vessels that had g tIie
to Bushehr returned to Kharag, and an endeavour was made, at
Mr. Jervis' instance, to induce the Dutch to associate themselves ^
e Biitish and Peisians ; but Mynheer Buschman would have nothing
to do with the affair. On the 20th, learning that two fishing boats
