Clxxiv PRELIMINARY MATTER.
" brought these letters to me; and candidly said,
" as it did not appear we were likely to regain the
" city at present, they could not think ot subjecting
t< their wives and children to the harsh and ciucl
« treatment threatened by Hajy Ibrahim; at the
" same time declaring, that should an opportunity
offer, they would serve me as faithfully as ever:
« and Lala and Mirza Bazurg refused to return
" into the city, until I absolutely forced them to
" leave me.
" When the camp broke up, my intention was
<e to proceed to Bushire, to pass a part ot the wintei
" there, and obtain what assistance I could from
" Shaikh Nassir. At each Raiedaree*, myself and
" my servants had to fight through them, until we
" arrived in the Plain of Kazeroon. Raza Kuly
" Khan, the governor, had pledged himselt to Hajy
" Ibrahim either to capture or kill me ; so that
" almost as soon as we were fairly got into the
plain, we had a pretty smart affair with the Kaze-
" roonees; and it would have been much more sc-
" rious, had not Raza Kuly been a famous coward.
"We were 20, they were about 4 or 500; however,
" to their great astonishment, instead of flying,
" along the direct road, out of the Plain of Kazeroon,
" where an ambush had been placed, we took a
" course direct for the abrupt and precipitous moun-
" tains which bound the plain to the eastward and
" southward. When we came to the toot ot these,
" we were rather appalled at seeing nothing but
* Guard-houses, at which customs are levied, and which are
generally placed where the road, from rocks projecting; on each
side, becomes very narrow.
