Mr. Lovett intended that the cost o£ the presents of Agha Eiza should
from a charge of 10 or 15 per cent, on the value of the goods
; which he proposed to allow as salvage. Shaikh Rahmah, on
being thus called to account by the Shir^z Government, asserted " the
right of every country to the property which might be shipwrecked
on its coasts/' and Agha Eiza unfortunately seemed inclined to agree
with liini; but suggested that an exception should be made in the present
instance on account of the political alliance between Britain and Persia.
In July 1804 Mr. Manesty, who, as we have seen before, took charge
of Bushehr on the departure of Mr. Lovett and then proceeded to Tehran
on a pretended mission from the Government of India, obtained a
Farman from the Shah to the

of Shiraz, ordering a
speedy settlement of the Nakhilu cases ; and soon afterwards it was
stated that one Zaki Khan had been ordered to take action against
Shaikh Kahmah, with the help of a tribe of Arabs who were at enmity
with the people of Nakhilu. Perhaps in consequence of this report
Rahmah, about the middle of 1804, abandoned Nakhilu alto-
and withdrew, accompanied by his family and about 700 depen
dents, to the island of Shaikh Shu'aib. Here he proceeded to form a
permanent settlement, built two towers for defence, and established
intimate relations with the Wahhabis j and , as he was supposed to com
mand the services of about 1,000 musketeers and was connected with the
Shaikhs of Charak, 'Asalu and Kangun upon the Persian side of the Gulf

in Arabia, his
position appeared to be a strong one. A proposal was made by Captain
j|; Seton, the British Resident at Masqat, for an attack on him by the
y British, with two ships, and the Sultan of 'Oman conjointly ; but it was
lit ne ^ved by the Bombay Government, who were unwilling to make
ll war on their own account upon a Shaikh who was a subject of the Shah
of Persia.
At length the persistent representations of Lieutenant Bruce, the 1805.
Acting Resident at Bushehr, took effect, and Shaikh Nasir sailed
with a fleet for the island of Shaikh Shu'aib. The assistance of
the British cruiser " Mornington " was offered to the Shaikh by Captain
