the Ka'ab; but the British authorities at Basrah considered that tlie
proceedings of the Persian Envoy had been such as to render unnecessarj,
and even improper^ any further correspondence with the tribe, and they
therefore proceeded to act upon their instructions without delay.
The British Agent at Basrah was now a Mr. Henry Moore; whoge
personality was to exercise a peculiar and by no means beneficial
influence upon the negotiations with Karim Khan ; and a first sign of his
eccentricity appeared in the manner in which he modified the orders of
the

in conveying them to Mr. Skipp. In one sense
Mr. Moore^s interference was cautious, for he did not withhold any of the
commands of the Government, and he even urged Mr. Skipp to pay due
heed to them all; but at the same time he suggested that they were not
of a binding nature and put forward in place of them a number of sug
gestions of his own, of which the principal were that the

should be
pressed to co-operate for the destruction " of the Ka^ab, or, failing that,
to arrange a firm and lasting peace between the Chaub on the one part,
the Turks and us on the other,^ on a basis of payment of full compensa"
tion for English and Turkish losses, together with El,00^000 on account
of the expenses of the expedition equipped by the Company, and of the
recognition by the Persians of the country dependent on Qubban —
though not of that dependent on Doraq — as subject to Turkish
authority.
In short, it would appear that Mr. Skipp received virtual discretion
to make the best terms that he could with Karim Khan in respect of
compensation and all other matters^ and to pay as much or as little heed
as he chose to the views of his superiors at Bombay. Mr. Skipp appears
to have left Basrah for Bushehr, on his way to Shiraz, about the middle
of April 1767: he took with him an introduction from the Persian Envoy,
special letters for Karim Khan from the Governor of Bombay and the
Agent at Basrah, and presents to the value of Rl0,000. The valuation
handed to him of the ships a Sally " and Fort Williamand their
cargoes amounted to RS,90,930.
It.should be mentioned here that, perhaps in consequence of the enter
prise against Mir Mahanna in which Mr. Jervis had, engaged in 1765,

or ruler of Persia for the time being in
any important matter^ such as the obtaining of new settlements or
grants, unless under the instructions of the Agent and Council at
Basrah, and from deputing any person to represent him at Karim Khan's
