Telegraphs. —The cables of the Indo-European Telegraph Department, 2
from Jask and 2 Jrom Fao, are landed a few hundred yards west of Rishahr
fort, and conducted overland for about 1 mile north-east to the telegraph
station. From the Rishahr office three land lines run across the peninsula
to the coast and thence to Shiraz. A short line runs direct from the office
to the British Resident’s house at Sabzabad, and another line accompanies
the Shiray line to the coast of the peninsula and then strikes north to Bushire
town, where instruments in the British Residency and the Persian Tele
graph Office are connected with it. There is a staff of 15 European or
Eurasian operators at Rishahr.
In 1912 a temporary wireless installation was erected at Rishahr, which
has a range of 120 miles by day and 130 by night.
The town Residency, First Assistant Rsident’s house, and Sabzabad
Residency are connected by telephone.
Postal. —There is a British Post Office at Bushire in the British Resi
dency, mails not passing through the Persian posts. Postal arrangements
are as follows :— Arrivals, Wednesday morning (fast mail) and Sunday
(slow mail). Departures, Monday morning (fast mail) and alternately
Wednesday and Friday (slow mail). The Persian post to and from the
interior is irregular ; but it is supposed to arrive on Thursday and Monday
and to depart on Saturday and Thursday.
