in August when a caravan conveying 100 loads of monopoly loaf sugar,
and 24 chests tea and cotton piece-goods and three loads of cotton twists
was looted by Nafars near Agha Jamal.

for the date trade, that district suffered from armed Baluchis, who looted
people in outlying villages in broad day light.
Six conscripts deserted from the Bandar Abbas garr son in June, taking
their rifles with them, were joined by other armed bandits and started to
