was
in
'd tracts. The introduction of such stipulations into the discussion
W as deprecated by Mr. Alison, the British Minister in Persia; their
acceptance was earnestly opposed by the Government of India ; and the
result was temporary deadlock in regard to the telegraph in Makran.
Meanwhile, however, it had been decided to carry matters as far as
possible without coming into contact with Persian opposition ; and
pursuance of this decision Colonel Goldsmid was deputed to survey
and report upon the coast of Makran, During the progress of his en
quiries various petitions were presented by local Chiefs, to him and to
other British authorities, praying for protection against the tyranny of
the " Qajars " in collecting revenue ; but no encouragement was held
out to the petitioners. The immediate results of Colonel Goldsmid^s
mission were the conclusion of telegraph agreements with the Khan of
Kalat ; the Jam of Las Bailah, and the rulers of Pasni and Kaij, and the
completion in April 1863 of a land line from Karachi to Gwadar.

As the telegraph line approached Gwadar from the side of India, Opposition of
Ibrahim Khan, Bami, the Persian Governor of Bampur, began to organise ^y^noTof
opposition to its progress and addressed letters on the subject to the Bampur to ^
Sultan of 'Oman, to the ; Omani Wali of Gwadar, and to the Khan of ^863.
Kalat, To the Sultan he wrote that it was the duty of that potentate,
as holding Chahbar under Persia, to prevent the British from landing
telegraph material there until they exhibited an authority from the
Persian Government for doing so ; and he indicated that, if the Sultan
were not equal to the occasion, he would himself proceed to the spot with
300 cavalry, 6 guns, 3 regiments of infantry, and local levies,—a step
which he would have taken earlier, he said, if he had not been dissuaded
byMir , Abdullah, Chief of Gaih.
Meanwhile there were constant reports at Gwadar of the approach
of a large body of Hind tribesmen under Persian leaders, and com
munication between the town and the interior was cut off. On the 12th
March Eind marauders under Shah Dost, an agent of Ibrahim Khan,
came within four miles of Gwadar and carried off a large number of
camels and cattle; twelve persons were killed by them, and several
natives of the country whom they had wounded were brought into
Gwadar; but the telegraph working parties, though alarmed, were not
^ olested.
