The Governor reported this to Tehran, but no action appears to have been taken
in the matter.
Persian Navy. —On the 31st August the Persian boat “ Chalchileh ’ left
Bushire for Mohammerah to remain under the orders of the Military.
In September about 58 conscripts from Bushire and a larger number from
Mohammerah were sent to Italy to be trained for service in the Persian iNavy.
There are said to be about 250 Persian officers and men undergoing naval
training in Italy.
During the year the two sloops and four patrol boats ordered by the Persian
Government were launched at Palermo in presence of the Persian Crown Prince
and His Excellency Teymourtache.
These ships were expected to arrive in the Gulf in the autumn of 19o2 with, an
Italian Mission of 15 Naval ofiicers on board.
SECTION 5.
Aviation.
British. Imperial Airways weekly mail service between England and India
passed through Bushire with moderate punctuality. During the winter montns
the Eastbound machines usually arrived late.
They introduced large airliners of the Hannibal type at the end of the
year.
The service is gaining in reputation.
Many private British machines landed at Bushire for refuelling.
German. —The Junkers Company maintained an efficient and regular Postal
and passenger service between Bushire-Shiraz-Isfahan-Tehran, but towards tne
end of the year there were rumours that it was going to be discontinued for financial
reasons.
On the 19th September a Junkers seaplane bound for China landed at Bushire
and left next morning. She carried on board a German Admiral in the Chinese
Service.
A German lady aviator Eraulein Elli Beinborn en route from Germany to
Saigon force landed on the 17th December at Dilum, but was not hurt. She came
to Bushire by car and carried to Dilum necessary parts to repair her plane. She
was fortunate enough to find an American pilot (Mr. Stevens) with his private
machine in Bushire, and was enabled through his assistance to get her own machine
put right within a day or two.
ErencA—The Air Orient Company maintained a fortnightly service between
Paris and Saigon during the year, but it was very irregular.
The E . L. M. Company maintained a weekly service between Amsterdam and
Batavia throughout the year.
SECTION 6.
Political Situation.
Conditions in the Bushire hinterland have been disturbed. The Government
measures in respect of dress regulation, conscription, disarming, and restrictions
on trade are resented by the population in general and the Dashtis and Tangistanis
in particular. Fearing a rising the Government kept troops operating in Dashti
and Tangistan as well as in the Shibkuh region throughout the year.
There has not been much co-operation between the Civil and Military autho
rities. That Tehran still upholds the Military over the Civil view is best illustrated
by the case of
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
-i-Intisar, who was recalled from the Governor-Generalship
of Ears, and the Ports, etc., owing to complaints from the Military authorities.
