placed on record. At Bandar ^Abbas, the first port to be visited, the
Persian Governor of the Gulf Ports would proceed on board the
Viceroys vessel and accompany the Viceroy ashore; at the landing
place the Viceroy would be received by the Governor-General of ¥ars,
who would then accompany him to the British Vice-Consulate and
pay him the first official visit; later the Viceroy would return the
Governor-GeneraPs visit at the Persian Government House, and in the
evening would dine with him. At Lingeh there would be no ceremonies
of importance. At Bushehr the Governor of the Gulf Ports would visit
the Viceroy on board his ship and present the Karguzar and other
Persian officials; in the evening the Governor-General of Pars would
dine with the Viceroy, and the next day would entertain him on shore
at lunch or at dinner; but separate official visits would not be exchanged,
these having taken place already at Bandar "'Abbas.
On the 25th of October Sir A. Hardinge had a farewell audience of the
Shah and was charged by His Majesty to convey to Lord Curzon
assurances of his warm esteem, and of the pleasure which he felt at Lord
Curzon's revisiting Persia; and on the 27th Sir A. Hardinge with
Major Douglas, Military Attache at Tehran, started from Tehran to join
the Viceroy in the Gulf, leaving Mr. Grant-Duff, a Charge d'Affaires/'
to act as his locum tenens. The British Minister arrived at Eushehr
on the 15th of November and left the same day in the "Sphinx" for
Masqat, where, as we have seen, he met and conferred with the Viceroy
on the 18th 9
Hardly had Sir A. Hardinge quitted the capital when the Persian
Government began to depart from the accepted programme*
The A^la-ud-Dauleh had already commenced to make difficulties about
meeting Lord Curzon at Bandar ^Abbas, which he said he could not reach
in time, and he had demanded the sum of £5,000 from the Persian
Government to enable him to take a large armed escort with him;
but Sir A. Hardinge informed the Persian Government that it was desirable
that the first meeting should take place at Bandar ^ Abb as, rather thaii
at Bushehi^ and he also pointed out that, as the streets could be lined by
the local garrison, the provision of a special escort was unnecessary. On the
?j6th of October however, before his departure from Tehran, Sir A. Hardinge
was constrained to telegraph to the Viceroy inquiring whether he could
visit Bushehr before Bandar ^Abbas, as the Governor- General of Ears was
travelling with a large retinue and asked for more time to make his
preparations. To this Lord Curzon on the 28th of October replied that, in
consequence of engagements already undertaken, it was impossible that
the order of his tour should be altered. On the 29th of October it
became certain that the Governor-General of Pars would not meet the
Viceroy at Bandar ''Abbas, and that it would be necessary to agree to a
reception there by the Governor of the Gulf Ports. Subsequently, on
the 11th of November, the Persian Government officially informed Mr.
Grant-Duff at Tehran that the Salar-i-Mu'azzam, Governor of the Gulf
Ports^ Would receive the Viceroy on the 22nd of November at Bandar
^Abbas, and that the A^la-ud-Dauleh would meet him at Bushehr on the
2nd of December. ^ As we have already seen, the Salar-i-Mu^azzam did, in
accordance with this arrangement, meet Lord Curzon at Bandar ; Abbas;
