5. As already fully reported by signal, further trouble
the
occurred regarding the registration of/R.I.N. boats. The
Deputy Governor threatened to arrest Telles, ordered that
the boats must either be taken away, registered, or else
not used, and refused to await the result of diplomatic
negotiations at Tehran.
Steamboat, however, was used as required securing
alongside a sloop at night, and at the end of the month the
Deputy Governor was told by Tehran to allow boats to run as
usual pending receipt of further written Instructions.
This has now blown over. It is evident from their action
locally that the Persians consider they have been 111
advised to press for the registration of boats.
This question of registration follows on the fact that
little notice was taken at the time of the Deputy Governor's
action when he prohibited the embarkation of moorings (the
300 years old and much rusted muzzle loading guns) on
account of the Persian law prohibiting the export of *fire
arms *.
What is considered to be a little success by the
local petty officials, encourages them on to further efforts
