We have apparently succeeded in effecting a diversion araong
the Khans and chiefs of Dashti,and the section headed Tty Mussain Khan
have declared their desire for friendly relations with us,and their
intention to keep in check,by force of arms if necessary,the hostile
section which joined the Tan^istanis in the attacks on Bushire,and
which happens to be at feud with ^ussain Khan,
Kussain ^lian runs that part of the coast which extends from Kalat,
the first village in Dashti south of the Tanjistani coast line,as far
as the ^and river,or flyfur-i-Ziaret,up which you recently went. The
principal coast village is Laway ,where there is a Customs iiudir,7;hom
we have just had sent there.
South of the liand river is unfriendly,and one of its chiefs is a
prisoner of war,until you reach the larger port of Dayyiy ,which is
used by the dependents of the friendly Abdul .famid Khan ,brother of
Hussain Khan.
A treat deal of the trade of the Dashti and Tangistani coast is
with Bahrain,and we have arranged with Hussain Khan and the Customs
Mudir at Lawar,that any of the boats from their district sailing to
Bahrain should carry a pass from either Hussain Khan, the Mudir,or ,a3
regards Dayyir,Abdul ^amid ^han,sealed with their seals of which I
attach co-oies.
