will hire a "boat and go out
for short spells on the Khammas system, which means that
they will take no advances and the JMakhuda will receive
1 / 5 th of the profits. This system has much to recommend
it and is almost universally practised on the mainland. It
is free from many abuses that exist in the Selafieh system
the divers themselves obtain a fairer share of the profits
without increasing their debts to their ^akhudas, but it
is not popular with the Tajalfs as they have no prior claim
on the catches and they lose their hold on the o.ivers.
PROSPECTS FOR COMIES SEASONS. Owing to the decrease in
the boats which will probably go out diving in the coming
season it is likely that the catch will be very small,
although this will effect the divers very badly, and
cause much want and unemployment, it will be perhapo
advantageous to the industry as a whole, xhe pe 2 l banks /
will be less disturbed for a season and may therefore
produce better results the following year, when it is to
■be Hopei the market will have returned to normal condition
the unsold stocks of pearls which are now held the
Bahrain merchants are sufficient without any new pearls,
to supply the market for a year.
COMPARISON OF S3AS0NS 1347/1348 and 1348/49. From
figures oBtained from the officially recognised diving
clerks of Muharrak and Hiddax a fairly accurate estimate
of the results of the two seasons can oe ootamed.
