a fine of 25,000 Q,rans on his ship^ but it was not paid. Finally^ in ^ ^
January 1905, the Bushehr Customs would have confiscated, on board a 8661186
British ship, the military arms of a party of three Turkish officers and i 011 ^
twelve Turkish soldiers belonging to the Hasa garrison, who were ^ ^
returning to headquarters at Basrah ; but the British Eesident was able *6; ti
to transfer the Turks with their arms to a mail steamer for Basrah, under ^
the protection of a British military guard. The British Minister at ittorise
Tehran was privately willing to concede that arms carried as cargo but not iincreai
entered in a ship^s manifest, as well as arms declared to be personal icontrolk
baggage but excessive in number, might be seized in Persian ports on ktini-He
suspicion of being intended for Persia ; but he firmly resisted the claim %alon(
to seize arms consigned to non-Persian ports, and he considered that even mses of
to place such arms under seal while in Persian waters was a vexatious us of cart
and unnecessary precaution.
