Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
Bushire, 15th December 1915
Many thanks for your letter of the 5th about Tan^istani
boats going- to Bahrain, and taking away tea. etc.
The two Bandar Rig boats would be all right: no likelihood
of their men taking the goods to the Tangistani Coast, as apart
from the fact that they are our friends they have their own feud
with Tangistan, and are under very close control from the Khan,
our friend. Lawar is on the Dashti coast, not far from the
Khur-i-Ziarat, and is part of the appanage of our friend, Hussaftn
Khan of Dashti. Some of the goods might find their way into
Tangistan, but presumably a good part of them would be for
Hussain Khan's own district.
I enclose a list of the boats and owners and Nakhudas ix-
belonging to that part of the Dashti coast, which has so far
professed friendship towards us. This will be useful to you
and the Shaikh's "Port-officers" in seeing what are friendly
vessels, and what not. It was compiled by the Customs Vudir at
Lawar, who was specially sent down by the Director of Customs
here at our request and that of Hussain Khan in order to watch
and control traffic on that coast.
The friendly part of the Dashti coast extends from Kalat,
the most northern village of Dashti, to the mouth of the Khur-
i-Ziaret.
Bui Khair is part of the Baraki group of Tangistan ports,
consisting of Rustami, Gahi, Khabidu, Salimabadeh, Khurshabi,
Amari, Bui Khair, etc. The chief man at Amari professes friend
ship, and is known to be an enemy of Zair Khidhar. A Customs
Mudir was recently sent there too, and I will try and get you
a list of boats authorized to trade to those ports too. Their
requirements are not large, and if they want to take away appa
rently excessive quantities at any time, please say "No" to them.
