'■ brother-in-Jaw of Mir Barakat, was appointed to succeed him. His attitude
. it li* towards the British was friendly and the British subjects in Minab wrote to

» «£ Barakat to visit Mmab, and the entertainment of the latter and his followers
during the six weeks of their stay was a heavy tax upon the inhabitants.
,, , On 21st November Zair Abdullah Khan arrived in Minab to replace
Abbas Khan, and Mmab was made directly subordinate to Bushire once more
instead of being under Bandar Abbas as in the past few years. Zair Abdullah
Khan is an avowed friend of the British but he appears rather too elderlv
