On February 3rd, after Ahmad had taken up his abode at the Resi-
denoy ; a further discussion among 1 the principals was held at the house
of Shaikh M.uhammad, another uncle of 'Abdur Rasul, Colonel Stanniis
being present. A remark which fell from the Resident was badly
received by Shaikh Husain, who rushed out of the house and began to
raise his followers, by voice and gesture, to a proper pitch for executing
any act of violence." Colonel Stannus seems then to have returned to

made by an armed rabble from the town. The place was surrounded by

at length obtained a cessation of these threats and annoyances, and
the next morning Shaikhs Nasir and Husain, who had meanwhile had
leisure to reflect on the consequences possible of their behaviour, began
to deny that violence had ever been contemplated, and to assert that their
only object had been to prevent the escape of Shaikh Ahmad. They also
had recourse to effusive protestations of respect for the British and of
gratitude for the kind treatment which they had formerly experienced at
the hands of the Resident.
Soon after this the Farman-Farma arrived in person at Bushehr, but
his presence did not improve matters, for he replied in offensive language
to a representation made by Colonel Stannus in regard to the recent
events and sought to throw the whole blame for what had occurred
upon the Resident. At length, the
