result of his raid was a visit which the Governor of the Gulf Ports paid
to Lingeh two months later in the " Persepolis.^ The Salar-i-Mu ; azzam
fined Shaikh Yusuf-bin-Ahmad and his brother, the chiefs of the A1 M
Samait Arab Colony at Lingeh, a sum of $6,000 on a charge of compli
city in Saiyid YusuFs proceedings, and obtained from them besides a
written document in which they declared themselves to be subjects of the
Persian Government.
About the end of July 1903 the ex-Shaikh landed once more on
Persian soil, with only a dozen followers, and established himself iu the
hills behind Lingeh. His tone was now that of a suppliant; and from
his retreat he wrote to the Governor of the Gulf Ports asking leave to
settle and lead a quiet life in Lingeh district. At the same time he
invoked, through 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.
Agent at Lingeh, the good offices of
the British Government. A safe-conduct for visiting Bushehr was
offered him, but he did not avail himself of it; consequently, as a
precaution, some Persian troops were sent to Lingeh under the Mujir-us
Saltaneh, brother of the Salar-i-Mu^azzam, lately Governor of the Gulf
Ports. At the end of November 1903 Muhammad-bin -Khalifah
returned to the Arabian side.
Arrived there, he resided by turns at Ras-al-Khaimah, Sharjah and
Dibai, and in Qatar : he was, in 1905, a man of quiet and respectable
appearance about 35 years of age. The chief supporter of his cause,

settled at Dibai and there engaged in trade in pearls and rice.
On the 9th June 1912 and following days severe shocks of earthquake
were experienced at Bandar 'Abbas. In that and the following year
the roads in the neighbourhood of the town were very unsafe, and raids
were committed in the district by gangs of Baharlus and Bashakardis.
Excitement and unrest continued in 1903-04; for some weeks caravan
traffic was altogether suspended ; and it was feared that the town itself
might be attacked. The only cause assigned for these disorders was the
prevalence of alarming rumours concerning the health of the Shah.
On the 11th January 1897 a terrible earthquake laid almost the
whole town of Qishm in ruins and occasioned much loss of life. Qishm
also suffered from the series of earthquakes which affected Bandai
Abbas in June 1902, but not so severely as on the former occasion.
1900 the Zabit of Qishm was changed, one Shaikh 'Abdullah being
substituted for Shaikh Hasan.
In May and June 1902 considerable annoyance was caused in
y iucursions of Bashakardis. In 1905 disorders were caused in ShanA
