at this time regarded entangling

no other means of retrieving their political and commercial position
in that quarter ; and, though they were particularly unwilling to be
drawn into operations against Mir Mahanna in the interest of
Karim Khan, they thought that even these should be undertaken,—if

Their instructions to the Agent at Basrah were framed on these lines ;
and they recommended the immediate despatch to Shiraz of Mr. George
Skipp, one of the Council at Basrah, to conduct the negotiations. At

ample satisfaction should be made for the losses sustained by the British
out of the booty that might hereafter be taken from the K a^ab, the
vessels of that tribe being at the same time destroyed or handed over, or

the British; that half the booty taken from Mir Mahanna should be
delivered up to the British, whatever its nature; and finally, in the event
of a joint Anglo-Persian expedition against Kharag proving successful,
that Mir Mahanna should be allowed to retain possession of the island on
undertaking not to cede it to any European power other than the British.
It was added that, in any case, the return of British field-guns, etc., taken

be made to obtain commercial advantages in Persia, especially in regard
to the trade in Gilan raw silk. According to the orders sent from
Bombay, the application to Karim Khan was not to be made until a last
