In addition to the above, the lamp at the Telegraph Station at Jask
which was used to show a light for the 44 Patrick Stewart" when previous
notice had been given, has been replaced by a lantern of the type used as ship 's
headlights and is now shown as a permanent light. Similar arrangements are
under contemplation at Chahbar and Henjam.
In connection with the lighting and buoying scheme, a plot of land , with
a godown and carbide store has been rented from the Anglo-Persian Oil Com
pany in their concession at Abadan ; plans for a permanent depdt and slipway
are being prepared by Mr. C. J. Homer, Assistant Engineer in charge, Persian
Gulf Lighthouse Works.
The proposal for a beacon on Halul Island has again been put forward.
The want of a vessel to undertake the duties of lighthouse tender has been

No further steps have been taken to install the wireless stations which
Wireless installation. we f sanctioned by the Secretary of State
earl y ln las t year owing to the detailed
estimates having greatly exceeded the original estimates.
The temporary station at Eeshire has given some trouble as regards the
transmitting station ; messages have been sent on behalf of the local Persian
authorities without exciting remark.
The permanent station at Jask has continued to work satisfactorily during
the year. This installation figures in the " Official list of Radio-Telegraph
Stations " published at Berne.
It is understood that all the new ships, belonging to the British India
Steam Navigation Company, which have been constructed or are under construc
tion for the Gulf run. are, or will be, fitted with wireless telegraphy.
Great developments have taken place during the past year in the Gendar-

there are detach
ments at Shiraz and Kerman, the former being in occupation of the Bushire-
fchiraz road. These detachments are dealt with in detail in the district
reports.
The Persian officers are their great weakness; once away from their
owe dish officers they are all too apt to relapse into brigandage and rapine.
