and to Bahrain generally.
After the arrival of the British expedition oft' Bahrain, a native vessel
from Daijir on the Persian coast, flying' the Arab flao-, attempted to run
the blockade. On being boarded she was found to carry an emissary from
Mirza Mehdi Khan, the Persian envoy to Bahrain in 1859, with a dress
of honour and letters in which Persian countenance and support were
promised to Muhammad-bin-'Abdullah, the chief filibusterer; the letters
stated that Mirza Mehdi Khan had been deputed to " the Persian ports
and islands," but they were unaccompanied by any proper Farman of
the Shah's government. The vessel was detained for having endeavoured
to break the blockade; and the letters were delivered by the British
authorities to the prisoner Muhammad-bin-'Abdullah and were by him
handed over to Colonel Pelly.
In accordance with the orders of Her Majesty's Government issued
a tew months previously, a teleorraphic communication had been made
through the Kes.dent, before the sailing of the expedition, to the British
mister at Tehran for the information of the Persian Court. It stated
