was called to discuss certain proposals put forward by the Director of Cus
toms at Bushire. It was proposed to establish bonded warehouses, to be
erected by local merchants, for goods imported for transhipment, which would
enter and leave the Port duty free, paying only the ordinary office dues for
import and export papers plus 2 per cent, to cover the cost of the extra super

Smuggling. —Tea, coffee, and arms are smuggled on the Coast to the
West and East of Lingah with comparative ease, and, although the Customs
launch " Khorasan " has made many trips on the Coast, no captures have been
