letter^ to the same effect, from the Governor-General; and he seemed to
hope that the Resident would offer to prevent the escape of Shaikh Nasir
by sea ; but in this, needless to szy, he was disappointed. The Persian
emissary then visited Shaikh Nasir, to present his credentials; and the
Shaikh the same day called on Major Hennell, accompanied only by
Shaikh Muhammad, the Shaikh of the Dumukh Arabs of Chah Kutali,
to ask his advice. The Dumukh Shaikh, who had heard that Baqir
Khan of Tangistan was to be associated at Bushehr with Mirza Mehdi
Khan as his principal adviser, recommended resistance, and in the last

In the end Shaikh Nasir solved the problem by putting Muhammad
Hashim and his attendants into a boat on the night of the 4th October
and sending them over to Shif on the mainland, where they were set
ashore with an exhortation to make the best of their way to Shiraz.
This expedient was unavailing, however, except as a means of gaining
time; and in the end Shaikh Nasir was persuaded to visit Shiraz, |
