sucb treatmentj the British Envoy haughtily re-embarked on the 12tli of
June and declined to land again until this order was withdrawn; but it
was not withdrawn^ and on the 12th of July he sailed for Calcutta,
Immediately before his departure he visited the island of Kharagand
formed an estimate of its resources and value. Captain Pasley remained
behind at Bushehr as Acting Envoy, with Lieutenant W. Bruce as his
assistant; but at the middle of August, apparently from fear of an
attempt by the Persians to seize him and his staff, he withdrew to
Basrah, leaving Mr. Bruce in charge at Bushehr as Acting Resident.
The explanation of the rebuff sustained by General Malcolm, on his
Second Mission to Persia is not far to seek ; for General Gardanne was
by this time with the Shah, and had for the moment persuaded him that
his only safety from Russia lay in a close union with France. The failure
may have been due, in part also, to the impatience and abruptness of the
British Envoy when he found himself confronted by difficulties.
Voyage of On receiving news of General Malcolm's intention of returning to
to 1 Persia 0 aiid ^ nc ^ a J the Governor-General * authorised or requested Sir Harford
his earlj pro« Jones, who had meanwhile been waiting at Bombay, to proceed on his
there, ^ep- mission to Persia ; and on the 12th September the King's Envoy sailed
to^amiary 8 H. M/s 36-gun frigate "Mereide", accompanied by H.M.S.
1809. a Sapphire ^ and the East India Company's tiny schooner a Sylph
of 78 tons. The " Nereide^ reached Bushehr on the 14th of October,
and on the next day ^Abdur Rasul, the local Shaikh, came on board
to pay his respects, and Sir H. Jones and his staff landed, The
" Sylph ^ had parted company with the " Nereide" at the beginning
of the voyage; and on the arrival at Bushehr on the 29th of October of
the Company's cruiser " Nautilus/' which had been attacked on her way
up the Gulf by some Qasimi pirates, serious fears for her safety began
to be entertained. As related in another place, the "Sylph" had in
fact been temporarily captured by the QawSsim, but had been imnie-
diately recovered and carried to Masqat by the " Nereide," which came
upon the scene most opportunely in the course of her return voyage to
India. The Persian secretary, who was the only member of the Mission
staff on board the " Sylph/' had escaped with his life | and on the 26tli
October he rejoined the Envoy at Bushehr.
*SirH. Jones bad-voluntarily consented to await in India-the result of General
Malcolm's Mission. Whether he was subject to the authority of the Governor- General
or not is doubtful; see on the one hand his own statement in Bridges'
pages liB and 201, and on the other a remark by Rawlinson in England and
in ihe Easti page 23.
