nd the Darya Baigi, then governing the Gulf Ports, there was at
the time a quarrel. The affair, however, was attributed by the local
Persian authorities to Tangistanis; and an expedition into Tangistan,
directed by the Darya Baigi, followed, which has already been described.
Nazim -nt-Tujjar was also required, at the instance of the British
Government, to quit Bushehr for a season.
In 1903 a deputation from the Muhammadan College of Aligarh
in India visited Persia to explain, from a Muslim standpoint, the advan
tages of education at the institution which they represented. In Septem
ber and October the deputation were at Shiraz, and, when later they
returned to India, they took with them a few recruits for the College
whom they had secured in Persia.
At the end of 1903, as related in a special Appendix, Lord Curzon^

In January 1905 two natives of the disputed island of Sirri took
violent possession at sea of a boat from Qishm, which they had joined
at Sharjah in the guise of passengers. They murdered all on board
except one boy, who was spared by them or otherwise escaped. The
motive of the crime was robbery ; one of the victims was a Khojah, a
British subject. The offenders having been captured by the Persian
Deputy -Governor of Lingeh, the British Resident at Bushehr was
instructed by His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Tehran to apply to
the Governor of the Gulf Ports for their prompt and adequate punish
ment, on the ground that, though the status of Sirri was contested, the
criminals were actually on Persian soil and in Persian custody. One of
the prisoners meanwhile succeeded in making his escape, but the other
was eventually put to death by drowning.

though they continued to surround the house, their demeanour was
more quiet, and they alleged that they only wished to complain against
the action of the Agent in a Hindu bankruptcy case, and had therefore
taken sanctuary under the British flag which flew over his residence.
