The situation in Minab gave cause for anxiety during the first half of the
year. The Persian Customs Agent at Kohistak was murdered by Tahirzais and
several raids were committed by Tahirzais and Bashakirdis. Retaliatory
measures were taken by Kohandil Khan which were resented by Mir Barkat
who threatened to invade Minab. Pressure was brought to bear by the
Eesidency and the Governor of the Gult' Ports on Mir Barkat and he gave up
his intention, but he continued to interfere in Minab affairs till Kohandil Khan
was removed from Minab at our instance. Since then comparative quiet has
prevailed.
Notwithstanding robberies on the trade routes and high freights by land
T and sea, the trade of Bandar Abbas for
the year under report was a record one for
several years, owing no doubt to the Northern avenues of trade being partially
or totally closed.
The British India Steam Navigation Company's Subsidiary mail steamers
ceased to run in April, but trade continued to find its way to Bandar Abbas
by other lines, such as the Bombay and Persia Steam Navigation Company,
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
Steam Navigation Company and a line of six Japanese steamers
chartered by a Persian named Mirza Muhammad Shirazi in Bombay.
The greatest drawback to trade has been the exceptionally heavy demand
by the Military authorities for transport animals to convey troops and stores to
Kerman. Merchandise was delayed and the merchants, not having sufficient
store room accommodation, had no alternative but to leave their goods in the
Customs House and to pay the heavy ground rent charges. ^ The result was
that, on more than one occasion, great congestion occurred in the Customs
House. The employment of a Government Camel Corps to convey Military
stores to the interior is a necessity, if trade is not to be unduly hampered.
The Anglo-Persian Oil Company's staff returned to Qishm Island on
January 1916 and recommenced boring
British interests. which continued without cessation till the
end of the year. The Camp was moved from Salakh to Has Tarkun where
a condenser had been installed and later a house was erected. After the
murder of the
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
Agent at Lingah, in April, it was thought
advisable to replace the Anglo-Persian Oil Company's Tangistani guard by a
detachment of Native Infantry. This was effected without any untoward
incident, in June.
Assistant Surgeon H. C. Berlie, I. S. M. D., held the post of Quarantine
Medical Officer throughout the year. The
Quarantine. Bombay and Persia Steam Navigation
Company's steamer " Zayani 55 arrived in harbour on the 26th April with
one case of plague on board. The patient died on board and was buried at
sea. The ship, after some slight detention, was allowed to proceed to Bushire,
the authorities at that port having been warned.
Mr. Howson visited Lingah seven times, the last occasion being in August
when he handed over charge of the Lingah
Tours ■ Vice-Consulate to Mr. MunGavin. He
also visited Qishm, Henjam and Ras Tarkun during the year.
The construction of the Telegraph Line via Daulatabad and Baft to
Kerman was begun on the 1st of October
Bandar Abbas Kerman Telegraph Lme. ^ ^ p insent of the Indo-European
Telegraph Department, and the first section—Bandar Abbas to Niyam 43*07
miles—was completed on the 6th November. Purther progress was delayed
in the first instance owing to delay in distributing material and later because
of an unfavourable report by Major Rich on the Daulatabad-Baft route for
the construction of a motor road. Orders were, however, received by Mr.
Blackman to continue the construction and work recommenced on the 16th
December and continued without interruption till the end of the year.

He arrived on the 15th November and
