Harami Shaikh of 'Asalu^ bringing two Gallivats^ and Shaikh Nasir of
Bahrain, bringing one, so that there were in all 9 Gallivats besides
5 or 6 other vessels. Two vessels containing Bushehr property^ whicli
incautiously separated from the rest of the fleet near Bandar ^Abbas to
obtain water^ had been captured off Qishm by Shaikh ^Abdullah of
Hormuz, who was at war with the Shaikh of Bushehr; but a ship
belonging to the Imam of Masqat, with whom also Shaikh ^Abdullah
bad lately been on bad terms, had accompanied Shaikh Nasir as far as
^Asalu and thence sailed for
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
. Shaikh Nasir, on arrival at
Bushehr, invited the Khan of Bardistan to join the combination against
Baqir Khan; at the beginning of August the invitation was accepted;
and on the 7th of that month the Shaikhs of Bushehr, ^Asalu and
Bahrain proceeded in person to the front. Close siege was laid to
Baqir Khan in his principal fort by a force that now amounted to 4 ; 000
men with five or six heavy guns.
Baqir Khan, on his part. Was not altogether without allies. On tlie
12th of August, 7 boats from Tahiri disembarked a reinforcement of 200
men for him at a convenient point on the coast; but 3 Gallivats were
immediately sent from Bushehr to prevent the landing of any more
similar contingents and, if possible, to capture the Tahiri boats before
their return home. The Ka'ab Shaikh also was disposed to help Baqir
Khan, who had solicited his aid immediately after taking possession of
Bushehr; but difficulties with neighbours limited his efforts on behalf
of his friend to the despatch of a single Tranki with 50 men. This vessi
moreover, merely touched at Dilam at the end of July, and thence; in
consequence of news of Baqir Khan's evacuation of Bushehr, returned
direct to Doraq.
On the 24th of August, having previously come out of his fort and
consulted with the Mir of Eig, the Khan of Ganaveh, and other intermedi
aries, Baqir Khan visited Shaikh N&sir on a safe-conduct and promised
to surrender the next day, and to give up his forts and all his property;
but on the 25th he did not appear, and it was observed that he had
utilised the armistice, as on a former occasion, to re-provision his W.
On the 26th of August, however, he came again to Mir Mihr 'Ali of
at the same time submitting to Shaikh Nasir a very false account oi^
effects taken from Bushehr ; " but, while he was actually sitting wift
Mihr 'Ali, a number of Ganaveh people who had a blood feud against
him, having first obtained permission from Shaikh Nasir, fell upon h^
and killed him along with fifteen of his followers. Twenty-five others
who accompanied him, and who were among his principal men, were taken
