such officer as the Persian Government might appoint to receive charge
of it; and to inform the Persian representative that a British officer
would continue to reside there, and that the British coal depot would be
maintained. Some delay occurred, due probably to the necessity of obtain
ing tonnage for the troops ; but in the course of January and February
1842 the force was withdrawn. Naval stores which remained behind
were removed in October or November.
In May 1842, the Acting Resident, Colonel H. D. Robertson, strnck
his flag at Kharag and removed the

presently returned himself to Kharag, where he resided during the whole
summer. It seems that the Bushehr

uninhabitable, and that the Acting Resident had proposed that it should
not be repaired, but that a new

should be built in the country
some miles from the town, in regard to both of which points he was
awaiting orders. From the fact that the Persian Government complained
to the British Minister at Tehran of the Resident's continuance at
Kharag it would seem that the earlier scheme of retaining the Eesidency
there had not been communicated to them or had been withdrawn in
deference to their objections. To their complaint they added an un
founded charge that the Resident had appointed a headman over the
islanders.
The temporary return of the Resident to Kharag was, in fact)
unofficial. He did not hoist his flag; he was accompanied by only half
his guard of 36 men; the whole office establishment with him consisted
of one clerk and one Mirza; he had allowed the Assistant Resident and

chosen Kharag; and he himself and the Assistant Resident visited
Bushehr as often as necessary, remaining there from a week to three
weeks at a time.
In 1842, the British Legation at Tehran seem to have intervened in a
question between Shaikh Nasir and the Persian Government, the former
having apparently been deprived by the latter of the island of Kharag.
Whether the question had any connection with the recent British military
occupation is not clear. In connection with the case the British Minister
called upon the Resident in the

to report on the nature of
Shaikh Nasir's former tenure of the island, viz., whether it was his
hereditary property or whether he held the revenue of it as a fief, also
what amount of income the Shaikh had been accustomed to derive from.
