2. Effective occupation and use presumably involve residence
for 12 months in the year. Neither island has ever been occupied/
for more than brief periods by fishermen, who have occasionally j
in the past erected barastis (palm huts) which they have removed
on departure. In recent years, so far as I can discover, no
"barastis have been erected• j
3. At high spring tides the areas of both islands are con
siderably smaller than the figures given in paragraph 6 of
Admiralty letter No. M.07938/39 dated the 8th November 1939.
Bain al Kabir, the northern island, is at high springs not
more than 50 yards in length and a few «eet in width; spray
drives clean across; and local people state that it is quite
definitely impossible to live on it. Bain as oaghir,
southern island, is roughly 100 yards in length at high spring
tides, and being more protected from the shamal is not totally
covered by spray. As however it has, according to local
opinion, never been more than briefly occupied by fishermen
