use as a witness^ and sent his own interpreter Muhammad ^Ali to Shaikh

surrendered. Shaikh Nasir, however, instead of complying, caused

intended witness on board the " Clive/^ another Company^ vessel whicli ;
with the (< Nautilus," was present in harbour, and informed the Shaikh
that he would keep the man as a hostage for the deserter. He then
went ashore with armed boats and caused Shaikh N asir to be informed
that, unless he released Muhammad 'Ali and made reparation for his
insulting - conduct within two hours, measures would be taken for des
troying the <( Rahmani," a Persian ship, and all of the Shaikhs own
vessels. Shaikh Nasir, after some delay, sent Muhammad ; Ali and the
other prisoners down to the beach; but the former, who had served the
British for twenty years, had had both eyes seriously damaged —an
injury for which the Shaikh promised to compensate him.
The matter then passed into the hands of the Resident, who had
apparently received a complaint from Shaikh Nasir of Captain Betham s
behaviour, but it is not known how it terminated.
In December 1827 Major Wilson, the Resident at Bushehr^ was
ordered to visit several stations in the Gulf with a view to ascertaining
which of them would be the most suitable for the reception of the

mended Kharag; and in 1828 Sir John Malcolm, Governor of Bombay,
whose former opinions in regard to Kharag were well known, expressed I
himself in favour of the project of a removal thither. Basldu, which
since 1823 had been the principal station for British cruisers in the
Gulf, was reported by Major Wilson not to be well situated for a
commercial port and to be unsuitable for the site of the Gulf

The principal advantage anticipated at this time from a migration to
Kharag was relief from friction with the Persian authorities, arising
from petty local matters ; but the question of the proposed removal soon
became involved with others relating to the retrenchment of expend
iture in the Gulf and the consolidation of the Basrah and Bushed
Residencies into one. In this complicated form the scheme lingered on until
1834, when it finally ended in nothing. It should be observed that the
question of a transfer to Kharag was not raised by Sir J. MalcoH
