In April 1901 he resigned and proceeded to Tehran, not however before
he had been presented by the British Government with a sword of
honour for useful services in Makran and had received a decoration from
the Russian Consul-General.
The next Governor of the Gulf Ports was the Salar-i-Mu'azzam, a 1901—1003.
nephew of the Nizam-us-Saltaneh, who was appointed in August 1901,
hut did not reach Bushehr until December ; his acting representative,
from September till December, was the Mu'izz-ul-Mamalik. The Salar-i-
MVazzam restored order at Bushehr and in its neighbourhood, which
had declined after the departure of the Darya-Baigi; but in the spring
of 1903 he was recalled to Tehran.
Pending the arrival from the capital of the Darya-Baigi, who had 1903—1905,
made up his differences with the Mu^in-ut-Tujjar and was so enabled to
purchase his re-appointment to Bushehr, the duties of Governor were
satisfactorily carried on by the Karguzar, Mirza ^Ali Muhammad Khan,
Muwaqir -ud-Dauleh. In 1905 the Darya Baigi was still Governor of
the Gulf Ports; but it was remarked that he was the puppet of the
Mu 'in-nt-Tujjar and that, though conciliatory and even cordial in his
dealings with the British

existing regime and was seldom able to fulfil the promises of which he
was prodigal.
It may be mentioned that in 1903 four guns of position were brought
to Bushehr, where a Persian artillery officer from Tehran also arrived; tration,
but no immediate steps were taken to construct the works in which it 1905,
was intended to mount them.
Under the Government of the Gulf Ports there were during the period
regular Deputy Governors at Lingeh and Bandar 5 Abb as, besides
functionaries of a more local or tribal ehatacter at Qishm, Hormuz, and
Minab, and in Shamil and BiyaMn.
From 1900 onwards the administration of the Customs was an
important matter in the Persian Coast and Islands, being carried on there
as elsewhere in Persia, by Belgian Officials and on a European
system ; a full account cf it will be found in the appendix on the Im
perial Persian Customs.
Here, however, may be mentioned a particular incident connected with
^he Customs which occurred in the Governorship of the Salar-i-Mu azzam.
At the beginning of May 1902 the town of Bushehr swarmed with
Tangistani and Dashti musketeers, about 1,000 in number, whom the
Customs authorities had enlisted and assembled on their own authority
