The city was directly set on fire, and the residents were thrown into chaos and disturbance. The fire continued till the morning consuming almost half of the city. Sheikh Saadun bin Madhkour, deputy of Sheikh Nasser of Bushehr, remained under house arrest most of the time. This had been imposed on him by his brother, Sheikh Nasser, before he left Bushehr. He dared not cause any trouble in spite of the fact that he had two hundred men, armed with rifles, in his guard. At noon, Sheikh Saadun bin Madhkour was feeling terrified in his own house.
