and the 'Utub under Wahhabi influence, and with them to
fall upon and destroy the fleet of Shaikh Nasir of Bushehr, then engaged
at Shaikh Shu'aib in coercing the Shaikh of Nakhilu; and he consi
dered that his own presence would be a check upon action by tlie
Sultan offensive to the Governments of Persia and Turkey, such as it
was desired by the British authorities in India to avoid in the joint
campaign against the pirates. Captain Seton seems also to have hoped
that by humouring his ally he might obtain from him a grant of Bandar
'Abbas, which, in total disregard or ignorance of its previous history, lie
represented as a secure and convenient place where a lucrative trade
might be carried on.
Saiyid Badar, arriving on the spot ahead of Captain Seton, found that
the siege of Minab by Mulla Husain of the Bani Ma'in, to raise which
was one object of his expedition, had already been abandoned. He then
commenced negotiations through the "'Utub, by whom he was accompanied,
for the surrender of Bandar 'Abbas, which was still in the possession of
Bani Main. The ; Utub, who did not wish to see peace established,
made no real effort to adjust matters between the parties, brought back an
insulting message from the Bani Ma'in to the Saiyid, excused themselves
fiom remaining longer on the plea that their vessels were overloaded, and
so sailed for home leaving their ally in the lurch. The strength of the
Atbi contingent was about 1,500 men, and Saiyid Badar's force was
reduced by its departure to less than 1,000 'Omanis, his own subjects,
whom he had brought with him.
Captain Seton joined him off Qishm town on the 5th June 1805, and
the same evening Saiyid Badar stood over to Bandar 'Abbas, landed
his troops, and invested the town. The British Resident, it should be
observed, was now impressed with an idea that the recovery by the Saiyid
of Bandar Abbas and Minab, from which the piratical tribes drew a
large part of their necessary supplies, would be a useful sfcep towards the
prevention of piracy; and he was clearly inclined to ignore the probable
effect of forcible action in that quarter upon the susceptibilities of the
Persian Government. On the morning of the 6th June, after Saiyid
Badar's men had driven the enemy into Bandar 'Abbas, had taken posses
sion of a house near the walls, and were about to erect a battery, an inter
view took place between the Saiyid and the Eesident. The manage
ment of the operations from the sea, which had hitherto been clumsily
conducted from inconvenient positions, was then undertaken by Captain
Seton and Lieutenant N. Gilmour of the " Mornington," who betook
themselves on board the Sultan's ship "Gunjava" along with a naval
