sea water and had to be removed ashore for drying.
The craft was later repaired.

anchor laden wich 300 maunds of Persian wheat was ¥7recked
in a strong !i shamal ?r . Che cargo, badly soaked with sea
water, was brought ashore for drying and cleaning and
the boat was eventually salvaged and towed in for repairs.
15. MEDIGAL (G ene ral ).
The medical work of Bahrain was carried out
by three hospitals - Victoria Memorial, Mission, and
Bahrain Government. Their reports show that the health
of the community remains at much the usual level.
There was no epidemic in Bahrain throughout
the year due to control by mass vaccination and effective
quarantine arrangements. The persistence of the Kaus
wind and lack of the "shamal" (NW) probably accounted
for the higher than normal incidence of malaria.
Small pox reached a very low level only 15
cases being treated in the Victoria Memorial Hospital
as compared with 56 in 1944.
