PRELIMINARY WORK AT BAHRAIN .
4. Stone beacons were constructed on Kassar Diwan
rock and on the isolated shoal South-east of Jufair uhder
supervision of the Staff Officer (Operations) during the
first week in April. It is considered that similar beacons
could be readily constructed in other suitable positions.
5* The southern house and its mejlis in the naval
area was also prepared for R.I.N. ratings and Mr. Telles
respectively. These buildings will be retained for use,
and it is considered that the building of new R.I.N. lines
will not therefore be necessary as the former are found to be
in good condition.
