Council returned the ShaiWs letter unopened to Bushehr^ with an inti
mation that Sir J. Malcolm, as one long acquainted with the Shaikh's
family, would always be delighted to receive open marks of his friendship
for the British Government, but that no communication could be accepted
from him in circumstances which indicated that it was in any way in
consistent with his allegiance to his lawful sovereign, the ally of the
British Government. The Shaikh was further assured that the refusal
to entertain his proposals did not proceed in the slightest degree from
displeasure with him. A remark was also added as to the dangers of a
correspondence such as that on which he had entered, against the con
sequence of which, if it should be discovered by the Persian Government^
the Governor of Bombay would be unable to shield him without in-
curring suspicion of having countenanced his proceedings.
In the spring of 1832 plague prevailed at Bushehr ; and the British
Resident, to avoid infection, removed with his whole establishment to
Khargu Island, where he remained from the 12th March to the 29th of

for himself at Khargu, with the sanction of Government, during his
residence on the island. The proceedings in the latter case are noticed
in the history of Trucial' Oman.
Claim of the We have seen, in the previous section dealing with events upon the
Government l )ers i ai1 Coast, that in November 1832 the Qasimi Shaikh appeared off
to British Bushehr in a hostile manner with a large marine force, and that he was
against mari- 0I1 ^ to leave without attacking the town by the determined
time aggres- attitude of the British Resident. In the following month the Prince*
Governor of Fars^ no doubt dreading further naval descents or menaces,
wrote to Mr. Blane, the British Resident at Bushehr, insisting that it
was the duty of the British under their treaties with Persia to prevent
maritime aggressions upon the Persian Coast, and even, it would seefflj
blaming him for having allowed the demonstration by Shaikh Sultan-
bin-Saqar's fleet against Bushehr. To this communication Mr. Blane
judiciously replied that he could not act in foreign affairs except by the
orders of the Bombay Government, and that the British Envoy ^
Tehran was the only authority in the country authorised to enter into
discussions with Persian officials on the subject of treaties.
