prisoners on this occasion, bnfc were saved from death by the intervention
of the Bushehr Shaikh. On the 27th a partial surrender of the late Khan^s
followers took place; and on the 29th the whole proceedings concluded
w itli the submission of his lieutenant Hamad^ who delivered up the prin
cipal fort in Tangistan to Shaikh Nasir. The allied forces then dispersed
to their homes, and* Tangistan was left, for the time being, in the posses-
sioa of the Bushehr Shaikh. The chief credit for the overthrow of Baqir
Khan was considered to be due to the Arabs whose prompt invasion
of Tangistan had deranged his original schemes.
The conduct of Baqir Khan was strongly resented^ as we have
already seen, by the Persian Government; they immediately despatched
messengers to every district between Kangun and Bandar Abbas to
procure help for the allies ; and troops from Shiraz Would also have been
sent to the spot, had not the leaders of the expedition to Tangistan,
anticipating misbehaviour on their part, declined to receive any such
reinforcement.

at Basrah did everything in
their power to assist Mr. Beaumont, the Resident at Bushehr; they wrote
letters on his behalf to the Mir of Rig, to the Khan of Ganaveh, and to
Baqir Khan himself; and they sent an Armenian merchant to Kharag,
and a subordinate from their own staff to Bushehr, to render such
further services as might be feasible.
During the summer of 1780, Sadiq Khan's sovereignty of Persia
being then disputed by Ali Murad Khan, the districts of the Persian
Coast escaped from all control, and general confusion prevailed. In July

whom and the Imam of 'Oman hostilities prevailed, seem to have com

records of the time of a vessel, named the " Expedition,^ which they
declined to restore to the Shaikh. During this season the town of Rig
was accidentally destroyed by fire.
The visit of Lutf Ali Khan, the Zand prince, to Bushehr in the

there, have already been noticed in the foregoing section which deals
