Relations of Saiyid Sa 'id with Persia after 1829.
The connections of Sa'id with Persia during the later part of his
reiori were at first not unsatisfactory ; but towards the end his influence
and position in that country were suddenly and irretrievably destroyed.
In 1880 and 1831, contentions again prevailing at Bushehr between
Shaikh 'Abdur Rasul and Timur Mirza, Saiyid Sa'ld was much inclined
to send ships to the assistance of the latter, who was his brother-
in-law; but he finally allowed himself to be dissuaded by the
Resident at Bushehr and by the Governor of Bombay from embroil
ing himself in the internal affairs of Persia. In 1839, conceiving
himself to be insulted by the murder—at the hands of a rival chief— of
Jamal Khan, a candidate for the Governorship of Bushehr whom he had
employed as his agent in arranging a fresh matrimonial alliance
between himself and the royal family of Persia, Sa^id was disposed to
adopt extreme measures against the port of Bushehr; but eventually,
under British advice, he contented himself with making a respectful refer
ence to the Shah, and received in reply au assurance that the murderer
should be suitably punished. In 1840 Saiyid Sa^id visited Hormuz and
Qishm on a tour of inspection.
In 1845 and 1846 the relations of Saiyid Sa^id with Persia were
again strained. The trouble originated in the ill-treatment of a Masqat
merchant at Bushehr and in the seizure at that place of some chests of
indigo which were the property of Muhammad-bin-Salim, the nephew
of Sa'id; and it was shortly aggravated by the advance, under instruc
tions from the Governor-General of Pars, of a Persian army against
the Saiyid^s fief of Bandar 'Abbas, where an attempt was made to
extort a large payment from Saif-bin-Nabhan, the "Omani Governor.
Saiyid Sa'id, being superior to the Persians at sea, was inclined to
retaliate by blockading or even attacking Bushehr, and the Persian
authorities were considerably alarmed by his attitude, especially Shaikh
Nasir of Bushehr who feared the loss of Kharag Island; nevertheless
they continued to temporise, and eventually M inab, one of the chief
places in the Saiyid's rented possessions, was invested by a Persian force
under Fazal J Ali Khan, Governor of Kirman. Saif-bin-Nabhan would
at this junctuie have declared a blockade of the Persian coast in his
master's name, but a stringent prohibition by the British Resident
at Bushehr deferred him, and he resorted instead to payments, or
