When the pirates at length went away, they prepared a boat and a
raft on which they set out to cross to the mainland ; but the boat was
lost on the passage with all on board of her, and only the raft reached
the Persian shore. The survivors made their way along the coast as far
as the island of Shaikh Shu'aib, suffering extraordinary privations and
abandoning as they proceeded; one after another of their number; until

party remained; and only a few of the Europeans. The chief of Shaikh
SWaib received them most inhospitably, but he was at length prevailed
on by threats to send them in a boat to Bushehr.
One of the party died while being carried on board the boat, others on
the voyage; and another on arrival at Bushehr; and in the end; out of
a numerous company only Mr. Jowl or Yowl; a ship^s officer, and Pennel,
a seaman; survived. These eventually reached Bombay with the " FlyV
despatches, which they had carefully preserved.

left at Shaikh Shu^aib on board a native boat bound for Masqat, but it
is not known whether or not he was successful in his quest.

usurped on the death of his predecessor. Captain Seton-'s reason for
complying with a request by Saiyid Badar for his company in the
