in 1866, to accompany which Col. Felly had been able to depute a Native
Agent only, emphasised the necessity for proper arrangements. Ultim*
ately it was decided that two'Assistants to the Resident,—a first Assistant
on Bs. 1,000 and a Second Assistant on Rs 700 a month—should be
appointed at Bushehr. The senior of the first pair nominated was Capt.
A. C. Way.
In 1879, on the recommendation of a Financial Committee in India,
the Second Assistantship was abolished, the chief reason assigned being
a diminution of work in consequence of the removal of the

steamer; and the pay of the remaining Assistantship was cut down to
Rs. 800 a month. This was, perhaps, an excessive reduction of staff ;
for in 1882 the appointment of a Native Assistant to the Resident on a
consolidated salary of Rs. 350 was considered justifiable. Personal con
siderations accounted in part for the creation of the new post, which was
conferred on Assistant Surgeon ^Abdur Rahim, Hakim, till then in
medical and general charge of Basidu, whose knowledge of Arabic and
Persian, professional qualifications, and Muhammadan religion combined
gave him peculiar advantages in his intercourse with natives of the
country; and it was ordered by the Secretary of State for India that
the new Assistantship should not be regarded as a permanent addition

Staff.
In 1889, on the transfer of Assistant Surgeon ^Abdur Rahim to an
Attacheship in the Foreign Office of the Government of India, the ques
tion of the assistance required by the Resident was re-examined, and
Colonel Ross was able to convince Government that ; in view of increasing
work, an Extra Assistant would be permanently needed at Bu. o hehr, in
addition to the First and Uncovenanted Assistants. Mr. S. Lucas was
the first incumbent of the Extra Assistantship created.
So early as 1856, and perhaps earlier, there was at Lingeh a Native
