Indian authorities to regularise Captain KembalFs presence on his staff

does not appear in what capacity he was at this time employed.
The attitude of the Turkish Government during the Anglo -Persian
War was, so far as could be judged from the behaviour of their local
officials at Basrah and Baghdad^ favourable to the British. It is true
that, at the end of February 1857, Rashid

protested in writing to Captain Kemball against the contemplated
British attack on Muhammareh, alleging that the place was claimed
by Turkey ; but Captain Kemball, deputed for the plirpose by Sir I
Outram, succeeded in inducing him not only to withdraw his objectioiiS)
but also to remove a Turkish war vessel which was stationed at the
mouth of the Karun. The argument used by Captain Kemball was ;
apparently, that the rights of Turkey to Muhammareh, whatever they
might be, could not suffer through the expulsion by the British of the
Persians, who were at the moment in armed possession; and firing

connection with Sir J. Outranks transient idea, already mentioned, of
placing Muhammareh in Turkish charge ; bat it is probable that the
magnitude of the preparations made by the Persians for the defence
of Muhammareh was due partly to a fear that Muhammareh, if ^ ell;
might be handed over by the British to the Turks.
The Turkish authorities threw no obstacles in the way of the p ur
