14 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PERSTAN GULF POLITICAL BESIDENCY
asked them to block the roads and arrest the mutineers. The result was most
satisfactory. The Deputy Governor of Bastak captured 22 of the mutineers
and sent them in chains to Bandar Abbas along with 13 rifles and 331 rounds
of ammunition. The remainder of the liflys and 19b rounds of annnunitiQ^
were received bv His Majesty's Consul from the people of Kauristan who had
had a scrap with the mutineers and disarmed them.
The prisoners were tried by court-martial and sentenced to various terms
of imprisonment.
Ovvin^ to delay in deciding on a suitable site for a cantonment no building
had been erected up to the end of the year, and officers and men have had to be
accommodated in mat huts and in tents. It is not at all surprising that many
of the oiiicers have been unable to stand the severe climatic conditions and ha?e
had to be invalided. Fever was very prevalent during the first half of the year
owing to faulty sanitation. Major J. M. Holmes, I.M.S., an expert in
sanitation, was deputed to improve the sanitation of the camp. With the co
operation of the Deputy Governor and His Majesty's Consul, a small village of
mud huts situated within the camp limits was purchased from the owners and
the huts demolished and disused wells were filled in. The result of these and
other sanitary measures introduced by Major Holmes was most marked,
Mosquitoes were reduced and there was a considerable falling off in the hospital
attendance and fewer hospital ships were requisitioned to take patieats to
India.
