ubjugates." It seemed to him, however, that the Sultan of ^Oman had
a rtl prescriptive and indefeasible rights of sovereignty over Gwadar and
Chahbar. He was not aware of the existence of any Treaties; and he re-
commended that the progress of Persia should be arrested, in the interests
of British India, at the point which it had actually reached. He suggest
ed that, in view of a^ request by the Persian (rovernment for an amicable
adjustment of her eastern frontier, which had been rejected by the
British Government, and of the status conferred on Kalat through the
conclusion by the British authorities with her, as an independent State, of
a telegraph agreement, the time might be opportune for a friendly
delimitation of the boundary between Persia and Kalat in Makran ; and
he proposed, as the most suitable line of demarcation, one running from
Gwatar bay to the confines of Sistan.
In consequence of this report Colonel Goldsmid was himself deputed
to Makran to complete, " by such oral enquiry as he might find safe and
practicable, the collection of evidence as to the actual exercise of sovereign
rights on the Mekran Coast within living memory/ - ' The outcome of
this mission was a series of three exhaustive reports, in which Colonel
Goldsmid reaffirmed in general his former conclusions. He had ascer
tained that the collection of revenue in Dashtyari and Bahu on behalf of
the Persian Government was an innovation even more recent than the
similar procedure in Gaih ; and he mentioned a Persian raid in 1862 on
territory undoubtedly belonging to Kalat, in which more than one
member of the leading family of Jinwri was killed^ as a proof that some
understanding as to the position of the frontier had become desirable.
At the end of 1864 a tour was made by Colonel Pelly, Resident in

In 1864, notwithstanding a suspension of the activity of Ibrahim
Khan, Governor of Bampur, in the direction of Chahbar and Gwadar,
the attitude of the local Persian officials continued to be aggressive. An
attack upon Kaij in Kalat territory by Mir 'Abdullah, Chief of Gain,
was apprehended; and it was generally believed that he had secured
countenance, if not a definite promise of assistance, from the Governor-
^fineral of Kirman and Ibrahim Khan of Bampur, in connection with
designs in that quarter.
