8 Felly's Visit to Lingalu Kishm, and Bunder Ahbass.
the first instance pulled down, to prevent its being used as a point
of attack by any hostile force, A better and more sheltered
position for a port lies about four miles to the westward, at the
entrance of the Clarence Straits, which is said in former times to
have been the site of a small Bunder. The present Bunder Abbass
is destitute of any pier or other artificial improvement, and has
only from two to three fathoms of water at a distance of two miles
out, so that during the frequent southerly or south-eastern winds it
becomes a lee-shore lashed by a heavy surf, rendering it necessary
for craft to seek shelter under the islands of Hormuz and Ivishin.
