FAT-H 'AL1 SHAH, 1797-1834.
of From the beginning of the reign of Fat-h 'Ali Shah in 1797; we may
treat Persian Makran^ though as yet the Persian Government had no
real footing in the province, as a portion of his dominions. Almost
immediately on the death of Mir Nasir I of Kalat, in 1793 or 1794,
Brahui influence had ceased to be felt in Makran; and the whole country
was thereafter parcelled out among local chiefs ; belonging to various
tribes, who were in every respect independent.
^ The first European officer to explore Persian Makran was Captain
N, P. Grant, an officer on the staff of General Malcolm, who deputed
him to travel in the country at the beginning of 1809, when the seizure
of Kharag Island by a force from India was contemplated. The
ostensible object of Captain Grants mission was to purchase horses; but
its real purpose was " to ascertain whether an European army could
penetrate into India by the southern coast of Persia.^
Captain Grant embarked at Bombay on the East India Companys
cruiser "Ternate" on the 18th January 1809, and on the 29tli te
arrived at Gwadar; but on the advice of Captain Seton, the Britisli
Resident at Masqat, who considered the country in that neighbourhood
too unsettled to be safe, he landed instead at Gwatar, which belonged to
Mir Subhan, the Jadgal chief of Dashtyari and Bahu, whose tribe was
at this time the most influential in Makran. From Gwatar Captain
Grant marched by land to Chahbar, where he arrived on 9th February y
and on the 11 th he left again for Nigor, meeting there with Mir
Subhan, by whom he was well received. On the 28th February he
reached Qasrkand, of which place he found the chief, Shaih Samandar,,
to be independent of other authority ; and there he waited until the
of March for Muhammad Khan, the chief of Gaih, under whose p r0 ^ ec
tion alone it was possible for him to proceed further into the interior-
Gaih was at this time the second place in all Makran, being iftf el101 ^
importance to Kaich only. From Gaih, Captain Grant maiche ^
Bampur; but the bad character of the chief of that place 111 a 6
imprudent for him to attempt to travel thence direct to ^
'Abbas, which was the goal of his journey; and he therefore retraces ^
steps vid Qasrkand and Gaih, where he halted on the 5th and 7th o
