SHOALS FORMING THE HARBOUR OF BAHREIN.
Jillia Shoal.
Jillia Shoal, or Arad Keef, surrounds the islands of Samahoy, Arad,
and Muharag, and forms the southern side of the entrance to the north
west harbour of Bahrein, and the northern to the south-eastern harbour.
It is nearly dry in most parts at low-water. The north-western point is
in lat. 26° 18' 40" N., long. 50° 37" 10' E.; the north-eastern in lat. 26°
18" 20'N., long. 50° 41'50" E..; and the south-eastern in lat. 26° 10' N.,
long. 50° 44' 10" E. The tide at times sets strong towards this reef.
* A great portion of these articles was again exported to India, Muskat, and other parts;
but they are not mentioned in the exports, which are confined to the produce of the island
and fishery.
