Report by Mr. F. Finsent, Assistant Superintendent, J ask Sub-Ditision, Indo-Eur
Telegraph Lepartment, No. 17, dated the 1st July 1916, in connection with the im
tion of arms and ammunition into the Mekran, during the half-year ending SOth J
1916. *|
Only one landing of ten Snider rifles at Sadaieh was reported on 19th Februarv- n '
to and subsequent to this date no arms, etc., were imported by sea. ^ 10r
The number and disposition of the patrols employed remain as at the close of the 1
report.
A few modern rifles, the exact or approximate number cannot be ascertained were
chas(d at Minab and Bandar Abbas by Baluchis from different districts in Persian Bali V
tan and smuggled into the Mekran through the Biaban district. These rifles were dis ^
of to Afghan traders in the Karwan district. The number of these traders during the pe ' d
under review has decreased considerably, small paHies consisting of 3 to 4 men were recortpfl
to be travelling in search of arms in or about the Karwan district during the winter months
but all reports say that they were most unsuccessful in procuring rifles of a modern type and
had to purchase weapons of an inferior kind at a high price.
The Khalifa of Debai, Saiyid Muhammad Umer, who landed from the Arab Coast last
year, is in residence in the Biaban district and it is said that the rifles, revolvers etc he
brought across with him are still in his possession. The total number of' rifles etc of
modern type reported to be with him exceeds 700, but it is difficult to credit the report and
it is impossible to verify the approximate number as no one in the country. I am eiven tn
understand, has the man^s confidence.
