breaking out; and as no opposition could be prepared
by the Persians to our re-occupation of. Mohumra at our
convenience, I would, in such event, at once embark
them, and depatch the 2nd Division (the European
portion at least) to Kurrachee, there to await the season
for resuming operations. That is, if the Shah refuse to
ratify the treaty on or before the 4th of June, the period
allowed him. If he refuse, two or three war-vessels will
suffice to keep open our communication, and maintain
our hold over Mohumra, until we bring back the troops,
should the necessity arise for withdrawing them in the
meantime.
It being decided not to move further up the Karoon,
I am enabled to dispense with all but one war steamer
here, and one at Bush ire required by Captain Jones to
visit the various ports of the Gulf, Muscat, &c. Had
we moved, we could not have done so without the aid of
the crews of all the vessels; for the Arab boatmen will
not work during the ramzan, which is just commencing.
We have already sent off the Assaye to proceed to Bom
bay, after coaling at Bushire. The Ajdaha, ready coaled
there, is also ordered down, picking up her 68-pounders
at Bassadore on the way. The Punjaub and Victoria
follow immediately. The latter requires, I believe, to
patch up some shot holes, but I hope will be stationed
at Kurrachee during the monsoon, as without her aid
any transport going down there from this place could
not enter that port. The Semiramis takes Captain
Jones on his tour, and the Feroze stays here for the
present. These two will be required to tow transports
from the river to the entrance of the Gulf, should these
troops have to move. From that point they are sure of
a fair wind to Kurrachee. The Pioneer takes the next
jnail to Bombay, on return of the Comet from Bagdad,
