the deceased Khan, having been appointed by the Shah to succeed hi m
m the government of Hormuz, at once invaded the territory of Jastt
but he was beaten and forced to retire with the loss of many men'
n afterwards, however, he succeeded in capturing the chief of Jashkai
sea on his way to Makran, and brought him back a prisoner to Bandar
Abbas. But the matter did not end here, for, while the Khan was
spending the summer in the mountains inland of the Shamil district,
the chief's wife surprised his camp one night with a body of horse and
released her husband, besides billing the Khan himself and a number of
his men. A third brother of the same family then became governor
of Hormuz and attempted, with a large force drawn partly from har,
Kirman and even Shlraz, to avenge his predecessor; but the chief of
Jashk, assisted by his two "idolatrous" neighbours on the east, once
more defeated the Persians in a pitched battle. The second in command
of the Jashk forces, described as an "Indian" and therefore probably a
Baluchi, was however captured by the Khan and brought to Bandar
'Abbas, where he was shamefully tortured until "the chief of the
^ Holland Company and other strange merchants, abhorring so much
cruelty, begg d of the Kan to surcease his rigour, who readily granted
"them their request.' ,, '

, in these words : " The whole reign
1694.1722. '' of the last s ophi, or King, was managed by such Vermin, that the
''Ballowches and Mackrans, who inhabit the Sea-coast from Cape
^Jasques to Indus, observing the weakness of the Government, threw
''off the Yoke of Obedience first, and, in full Bodies, fell in upon their

" time Freebooters, and plundered their Fellow Subjects of what they had
^ got by.their painful Industry. There was no Want of Kemonstrance
^ and Petitions put into the Court to put a stop to those Enormities,
but no Redress could be had." As shown in the general history of the
Gulf, Baluchis of Makran, encouraged apparently by the Afghan invasion
of Persia, made an incursion into Lar in 1721 and even attacked the
British and Dutch Factories at Bandar 'Abbas.
In 1738 or 1789, apparently in the course of his invasion of India,
Nadir Shah sent orders to Muhammad Tswp Khan, governor of Shiraz,
to take command of some troops that had been prepared for service it-
man and to advance with them by land into Sind, sending his artillerv
by sea. In 1739 Muhammad Taqi Khan wrote to Sind reporting thai
