been bestowed, frankly told Colonel Goldsmid that Persia had no title
to Gwadar, and that her power on the sea coast to the west of that place
was too slight to allow of his issuing* permits to foreigners for landing
on it. Colonel Goldsmid found the seaboard tract a comparatively cut of!
from the upper country by a rugged hill range " inhabited by Balucli
ti'ibe% to the north of which lay the district of Bam pur, " about as muoli
Persian as Kirman Proper; ;; while the status of the districts to the soutli
of it was entirely different. Bampur was governed by Persian officials
and was garrisoned by Persian troops, regular and irregular as well
as by Baluch levies; but in the southern districts Baluch rule continued,
those hereditary chiefs who most readily accepted Persian suzerainty being
recognised by the Persian authorities, and Persian garrisons as a rule
were not found. Ibrahim Khan, Governor of Bampur, told Colonel
G oldsmid that he could not undertake to protect telegraph operations to
the west of Gwadar ; and the fluctuating character of the Persian position
from place to place was illustrated by Colonel Goldsmid^s own experiences,
Shaik ' Abdullah, chief of Qasrkand and Sarbaz, had recently been
murdered, and the Persians, in recognising his son as ruler of Qasrkand,
had given Sarbaz to the head of another family, who was devoted to the
Persian interest: the result was that the direct road from Bampur to
Chahbar, via Qasrkand, had become unsafe for travellers under Persian
protection, and that Colonel Goldsmid was obliged to take a route by
Fanoch. Over this he travelled more than /^OO miles in perfect security,
without other escort than that of a petty Persian official, who was
unarmed, as were also his Baluch attendants.
From another source we know that in 1867 Mlr'Abdullah of Gaih
exercised direct authority over the coast districts between Chahbar and
Jashk, and indirect authority over those between Chahbar and the Kalat
frontier, and that he was extremely unpopular on account of ^
exactions ; also that Yar Muhammad, a Hot chief at Bahu Kalatinthe
Bahu district, still held out against the payment of tribute to Peisw-
About the same time Mir 'Abdun Nabi, chief of Jashk and Biy ab ^
having killed some of the Tahirzai tribe, was imprisoned by the Persian
Deputy Governor of Bandar ^Abbas, and charge of tie districts was
assumed by Mir "'Ali, a brother of the former chief Mir Husain. ^ 11
^Ali was an old man and incapable of making his authority felt.
Colonel Goldsmid^s opinion, formed in accordance with information
collected on his journey in 1866, was that Dizak (including
barbaz, and Pishin (or Pishing) should go to Persia, and Tump an
Jinwri to Kalat, the boundary at the coast being placed at the mo"^ 0
the Dasht Khor on Gwatar bay.
