that, if he had assisted Saiyid Badar in recovering Bandar 'Abbas, it
must have been from an impression that his doing so would be agreeable
to the Shah. There is nothing to show how this hypothetical explanation
was received by the Persian authorities, but they do not seem to have
done more than express to Mr. Bruce their astonishment at the action of
the Masqat Eesident; and Muhammad Nabi Khan in due time proceeded
on his mission to India, The apparent apathy of the Shah's Govern
ment may be explained by the difficulties with Eussia in which Persia was
at the time involved, K
The Shaikhs of Bushehr seem to have been treated with considerable
liberality, in financial matters, by the
Government of Bombay
From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions.
. In 1807
a grant of Es. 3,000 was made to Shaikh Nasir as a reward for help
rendered by him in connection with a piracy upon a British boat; and in
compensation for the loss of one of his own " m an attack made by
Lieutenant Cox." On the departure of the Shaikh for Makkah in
1807, a ship named the Sulaiman Shahi " was sent by 'Abdur Easul,
his son and acting deputy, to Bombay with the modest request that she
might be "very nicely repaired" at the Government dockyard and
returned as early as possible to Bushehr ; and the Governor in Council
not only directed this to be done, but gave the Sulaiman Shalii^
precedence over all other vessels in the yard except those of the Royal
Navy. Encouraged by this liberality, Shaikh 'Abdur Easul next de-
manded that the work should be paid for, as well as executed; by the
Bombay Government; and they eventually agreed to defray one-fourtii
of the cost. When Shaikh 'Abdur Rasul was kidnapped by order of the
Shiraz Government in 1808, the British account against him was made
up and was found to amount to Es. 25,787, of which Es. 17,940 was on
account of re-coppering and other repairs to his ship, and Es. ^,954 was
due to private creditors under British protection. The question of the
recovery of these debts was revived on the return of 'Abdur Rasul to
power in 1811; and in 1815 it was still, apparently, under discussion.
