I 291 ]
whole face of the country was covered with snow; and numbers
perished from the inclemency of the season. The army was not
only much disheartened, but was also greatly diminished.
Finding that he could effect nothing against the fort, and that
an obstinate perseverance would only add to his distress, he re
turned to Sheeraz. He arrived, with the broken remains of his
army, towards the close of the year ; having lost a number of
men from deaths, and a still greater number from desertion.
Lootf Ulee Khan collected a fresh army with the intention Marche.,.
of opposing Baba Khan, who had been left in command of the pc-se,
army during the absence of his uncle, A Moohummud Khan.
He was encamped with his forces at Qumshu, where he deter
mined to oppose the enemy, should he advance towards Ispha-
han. Lootf Ulee Khan halted within a short distance of the
enemy, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it would be
most adviseable to attack Baba Khan, or to avoid him, and
prosecute his march to Isphahan. He was unhappily relieved
from this difficulty, by the treachery of Hajee Ibrahim and his
two brothers.
It may be necessary to trace the motives which could induce Causeonhis
Hajee Ibrahim, a man who was indebted to the family of the
Zunds for the distinction and credit he possessed, to so shame
fully betray the trust which was reposed in him, and to hazard
his family and life in the expectation of uncertain advantages.
The springs of action are seldom discoverable; a traitor is
cautious in divulging the real motives for his treachery. In the
present case it must be extreme^ uncertain ; I am fortunately
relieved by the Persian historian, whose, conjectures have the
merit of being at least specious.
Burkhodar Khan, a Zund, a relation of Lootf Ulee Khan, Burkhodar
and much esteemed by him, expected that Hajee Ibrahim
should pay him the attention which was due to a superior.
