station. I 11 October 18^^ a report on Basidu was furnished by Captain
T Remon oi: the Bombay Engineers, probably under instructions from
Government.
The Shah unfortunately proved less accommodating in regard to Further dis-
the occupation of Qislim Island by British troops than the Prince- ^v^aan^ 11
Governor of Shiraz had shown himself in his conversations with Dr. withdiawal of
Jukes. He even insisted positively on the withdrawal of the detach- detachment
ment and the utmost concession to which he would agree was that the
result of a mission which he proposed to send to the British Court
should be awaited. In these circumstances the advisability of maintain
ing the Qishm garrison was elaborately discussed by the Government
of Bombay ; and, though they feared that a retirement would cause
a revival of piracy in the Gulf, they eventually advised withdrawal. The
reason for their recommendation was that the good relations of the
British and Persian Governments, which were of greater general import

on Qishm. They advised that care should be taken, in removing the
troops, not to say anything by which the claim of the Sultan of ^Oman
to the island could be adversely affected ; and they urged that the
garrison, on leaving Qishm, should be withdrawn from the Gulf alto

or later involve the British Government in the politics of the adjoining
countries.

about to be carried into effect when information was suddenly received
via Bushehr of an apparently serious disagreement between the Shah and
the British Charge d'Affaires, in consequence of which the latter had
thought it necessary to quit the Persian Court. The causes of this
unpleasantness are indicated as having been partly the discouragement by
l ord Londonderry of the Shah^s proposed mission to the King, till the
accomplishment of which the Shah had agreed to suspend his demand for
the evacuation of Qishm, and the attitude assumed by Persia towards
the Porte; but it is probable that there v\ere also * personal elements in
