Julius Euchs, Austrian globe-trotter,
arrived at Bandar Abbas on the 18th
from Kerman. He carries Emergency
Certificate No. 20, dated the 12th October
1925, granted by His Majesty’s Consul-
General at Tehran. He applied to His
Majesty’s Consul for a transit visa via
Bombay to Austria, but on being offered,
under instructions from His Majesty’s
Legation, a transhipment visa only, it was
discovered that he had neither the means
nor the intention to return to Austria
but desired to proceed to India for employ
ment. According to his own account
he was employed in railway construction
in Burma for ten and a half years prior
to the outbreak of the war, when he was
interned in Ahmednagar and repatriated
in 1920. He states that he set out from
Oldenburg in Prussia in 1924 and has
tramped through Austria, Hungary,
Bulgaria, Roumania, Constantinople, Asia
Minor and thence into Persia via Resht.
He appears to have been travelling for
some time with Hans Neyer, another
globe-trotter of Austrian or German
nationality.

Abbas on the 20th from Khamir. He
holds passport dated 9th March 1924
issued by the Chief of Police at Witten-
burg near Singer (Germany), which bears
a visa for the “ Straits Settlements ”
granted on the 28th July 1924 by the
Passport Control Officer at Vienna. He
enquired of His Majesty’s Consul whether
he would be granted a transit visa to
Karachi en route for Singapore and was
informed that such could only be given if
there were reasonable prospects of his
being able to obtain a ship there to take
him to his destination.
He is possibly identical with the
Otto Mueller mentioned in paragraph
1961-A of the Bombay Presidency Police

1925.
