for his safety; and Lieutenant Kemball felt that the slightest appearance
of indifference on his own part would probably seal the doom of the
unfortunate man. Accordingly, in the course of the two following days,
he received the principals in the dispute at the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. , where he
discussed matters with them; and his mediation was so far successful
that on the 14th May the Malik-ut Tujjar thought it safe to dismiss the
other merchants from his house, and the excitement that had prevailed
in the town was allayed.
But Shaik Husain soon renewed his threats against the Malik-ut-
Tujjar and took measures for preventing his escape from the town by sea
or land. On the 22nd May the Malik-ut-Tujjar visited the Assistant
Resident again, in a state of great alarm, and it appeared that he had
been called [on to leave the town at once, —• a movement on which he
thought that he could not venture with safety. He proposed to accept
offers that had been made him by Ahmad Khan, son of the Tangistani
Chief Baqir Khan, who was absent at Shiraz, to come with an armed
party to Bushehr and carry him away to a place of safety; but this idea was
discountenanced by Lieutenant Kemball, who feared that a serious en
counter might result between the Tangistanis and Shaikh Husain's men.

attack on Haji 'Abdul Mahammad as he left the town by land having
been foiled by the Assistant Resident, who induced the Shaikh actually
in charge of Bushehr to convoy him through the gates, and who sent two
representatives from the British Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. with him as a precaution
against treachery, the Malik-ut-Tujjar was enabled to gain the open
country. He was met, at a distance of 5 or 6 miles outside, by an escort
of 50 Tangistanis.
Lieutenant Kemball's intervention was approved as judicious by
Colonel Farrant, the British Charge d 5 Affaires at Tehran.
