onectness of his own opinions and measures. It was r^ied that the
administration of the island and village should be military, under the
officer commanding the forces, the Resident's establishments being
excluded frohi his jurisdiction ; these were Captain HennelFs suggestions.
It was ordered that some Baluchis left on Kharag by Shaikh Nasir
should be taken into the service of the British Government, and that
arrangements should be made for the safety and comfort of Shaikh Nasir
himself; to whom just compensation for his losses and expenses was to
be allowed, at the discretion of the Eesident.

and
Foreign Office; but in the end it was decided that to acquire Kharag
by purchase would be to give Russia an opportunity of obtaining the
cession of the whole or a portion of Gilan in the north in return for a
remission of the balance of the war indemnity due to her by Persia,—a
most undesirable result,-—and that it would be better to do nothing which
might so compromise the integrity of Persia. The British Minister at
Tehran, however, was instructed to explain to the Persian Government,
when the time for the evacuation of Kharag arrived in consequence of
the fulfilment of the British demands, that a British Resident would
remain on the island for the protection of British commercial interests,
and that a coal depot would be required there for the use of the British
steam vessels navigating the Tigris and the Euphrates ; and he was
directed to ask the Persian Government to order the local authorities to
afford the necessary facilities.
Kharag had proved, apparently, a not unpopular station. By the end
of 1840 a well-furnished bazaar existed on the island, and ready money
payments had made abundant supplies procurable; but fever and other
diseases continued to be prevalent, in summer, among the troops of the
garrsion.
It having been arranged that on the conclusion of an Anglo-Persian
Commercial Treaty the British occupation of Kharag should cease,
Sir J. McNeill wrote on the 28th October 1841 to the military officer
commanding on Kharag, desiring him to arrange, in concei't with the
