visited Chahbar in the R. I. M. S. Lawrence" with a view to his influ
ence being exerted on the turbulent local chiefs whom the Shah's Govern-
H ment could not control ; but he failed to secure a meeting with any
of them. In April 1897, Old Jashk was raided by a Baluchi gang, and
British Indian traders were robbed of property valued at Rs. 5,000.
Representations concerning this incident were made to the Persian
government, in consequence of which the Persian gunboat " Persepolis "
was despatched to Jashk to restore order, and a garrison of 100 Persian
infantry with guns was installed at New Jashk.
J Such partial measures, however, were of no avail ; [and, at the end Mur( j er 0 f

. u # i and Persian
matters to a crisis. Mr, Graves, Acting Superintendent in the Indo- military
European Telegraph Department, an elderly man with long experience m
of Persia, had pitched his camp, in the course of an annual tour of under British
inspection from Jashk, at a place half a mile east of the Rapch river where ^encTlS 6 ^"-
the Jashk -Gwadar telegraph line crosses it. On the night of the 2nd 98.
December 1897 a gang of about 20 Karwari Baluchis attacked the camp
and barbarously murdered Mr. Graves with swords, the fatal blow
being struck by Mnlik Ghind-bin-Shali Baig, a headman of the
Shahuzai tribe.
The sole motive of the crime was plunder; and the robbers, after
destroying Mr. Graves' tents, carried off all that they found in the camp
including a considerable sum of money which was for distribution in
wages to the telegraph staff, upon the camels of the deceased officer.
Mr. Graves had established telephonic communication bet ween his
camp and Jashk and the occurrence consequently became known the
next day to Colonel Meade, the
Political Resident

I tannic Majesty's Minister at Tehran, on receiving news of it, impressed
upon the Persian Government the necessity of immediate action, at the
same time instructing the Resident to proceed himself to the spot, hold
a local enquiry, and watch the proceedings, but enjoining him to leave
measures for the capture and punishment of the offenders entirely to

The action of the Persian Government in the case was unusually
prompt. On the 6th December the Persian gunboat " PersepoJis/'
