Bahrain and Turkish ; Iraq will appear from the separate chapters ontb
history of those countries.
The attitude of Shaikh Nasir of Bushehr towards Karim Khan was
ordinarily that of an obedient and even loyal vassal, as is shown by his
undertaking service against Mir Mahanna in 1765 and against Basrah
in 1775-76; but there were occasional differences between him and his
suzerain. In 1767 a difficulty in regard to the tribute payable by the
Shaikh on account of Bahrain, the same that had occasioned his
imprisonment at Shiraz in 1755, arosa ; 4,000 Turnans a year were
demanded of him by the

for Bushehr and Bahrain together ; and,
on his hesitating to comply, Karim Khan apparently sent a force under
Zaki Khan into Dashtistan, closed the passes between Bushehr and,
Shiraz, and incited the chief of Tangistan to take up arms against
Shaikh Nasir. At the beginning of 1768 Shaikh Nasir's brother Sa'dun,
who had been sent to Shiraz to negotiate, returned with a favourable
answer; and friction ceased until about 1773. It was then renewed;
but early in 1774 a fresh reconciliation was brought about by a voluntary
visit of Shaikh Nasir himself to Shiraz, which so delighted the

that he immediately appointed the Shaikh his plenipotentiary for the
purpose of arranging a settlement with the Imam of ^Oman.
With the countenance of Karim Khan, whose authority he represent
ed in maritime matters in the upper Gulf, Shaikh Nasir of Bushehr
steadily increased his fleet during this period. In 1765, at the time of
the attack on Kharag, it consisted of a ship, 3 Gallivats and 2 Batils;
in 1769, shortly after Mir Mahanna's death, of a ship, 4 Gallivats and
30 armed boats; in 1771, of two ships and 7 or 8 Gallivats, besides
boats; and in 1775, during the siege of Basrah, of some 20 war
Gallivats, carrying from 8 to 10 guns each, and a number of merchant
vessels of 40 to 80 tons which could be, and sometimes were, used for
naval purposes. In 1775 a 40-gun ship lay in a deep hole in the
Bushehr harbour, out of which it could not be moved : it was said to
have been captured from the Imam of Masqat, but it may have been
merely the 'Omani vessel which, as already related, accidentally fell into
the power of Mir Mahanna at Kharag in 1766.
