post of Director-in-Chief of the Indo-European Telegraph Department. He
was relieved by Mr. E. E. Gunter, Superintendent, Indian Telegraph Depart
ment, who held charge for the remainder of the year.
On account of the effective blockade of the Mekran Coast by the Eoyal
Arms Traffic. Navy, the Baluchis were only successful
in importing a very small quantity, of
arms from Maskat. The landings and captures have been dealt with in a
separate report. During the year Afghans confined themselves to purchasing
arms locally from the Baluchis; very few came to the Coast. For the protec

captures of arms by the Eoyal Navy, the following Chiefs were granted permits
to import rifles from Maskat.
