Anchored.
Blew siren to attract Health Officer.

Proceeded.
The Captain of a B.I. steamer whom I met later told
me that the above is typical of the present state of affairs
when they call at Henjam.

11. On our arrival at Jask at 0700 on 1st October, the
Port Health Officer came on board and granted pratique.
No other ship was present.
An officer then landed with the interpreter to ask
the Governor at what time he would receive my call, and this
was fixed for 1000.
12. I landed and walked to the Governor’s Office (on
the ground floor of his house), which is about i mile from
the landing place.
There were no signs of the Iranian Navy in Jask.
13. The Governor had previously been reported to me as
being the Governor of the Province. Actually he appears to
be more in the nature of the Head Man of the 20 or 30 houses
and mud huts which form the village of Jask, and I should say
he ranks with the "Deputy Governor” of Henjam.
He is a man of about 40, bickers for precedence with
the Chief of Police and Officer Commanding Troops ( a Second
Lieutenant), and to judge by the appearance of his office and
his one clerk he has not very much to do. 14
14. The Governor had not much to say beyond running
down Jask, and I gather he has been given his present job
on account of some misdemeanour.
His return visit was fixed for 1700.
