his conquest. As a preliminary to doing so, he seized upon some boats
and despatched in them; to a place upon the coast of his own district, the
plunder of the Shaikhs of Bushehr, of which the value was estimated at

inexpressible joy of the inhabitants^ he quietly left for Tangistan
with all his people.
The injury caused by this invasion was less than might have been
