1877-78 the local ruler of Qishm was Shaikh Sagar^ who had in the past
given trouble to the British authorities, especially in the matter of
supplies for the British Station of Basidu, but had ceased to do so.
Complaints of habitual oppression brought against him by his own
subjects were investigated under the orders of the Governor-General of
Ears and were dismissed; but the Shaikh had to pay heavily for his
exoneration. He was at this time in an advanced stage of consumption
and visited Masqat for treatment, but he did not die until 1881, when
he was succeeded by his nephew Hasan-bin-Muhammad. In 1886
Qishm was governed by Shaikh Ibrahim, a cousin of Shaikh Hasan; but
he was removed by the Malik-ut-Tujjar of Bushehr, and afterwards sent
in chains to Tehran, Shaikh Hasan returning to power. The charge
against Shaikh Ibrahim was that he had allowed the Shfahs of Qishm
to be attacked, during their Muharram celebrations, by the Sunnis; and,
though he had in reality done his best to prevent the trouble, he was
obliged to pay a fine of 2,000 Qrans. In 188S Shaikh Ibrahim was
released from Tehran and allowed to return to Qishm.

visit to Shiraz connected with the difficulties, between himself and the
Government of Fars, Haji ^Abdul Muhammad, the Malik-ufc-Tujjar or
officially recognised head of the Persian mercantile -community, suddenly
found himself in great danger from Shaikh Husain, the uncle of Shaikh
Nasir; and on the 10th May he came to the British

to solicit
the protection of Lieutenant Kemball, the Assistant Resident, who seems
to have been officiating in charge. The immediate cause of the rupture
between the Malik-ut-Tujjar and Shaikh Husain was perhaps an order
received by the former from the Shiraz Government, with which,
however, he had neglected to comply, that he should direct the merchants
of the town to postpone payment of customs duty; but he was suspected
by Shaik Nasir^s relations of working for the Shaikh's removal from the
Government besides which the strongest animosity had existed between
the parties to the quarrel for a number of years. When the Malik-ut-
Tujjar made his application to the Assistant Resident he had already
assembled all the principal merchants of Bushehr at his house, where
they remained day and night, their presence affording some g ua
