The Hamburg-Amerita S. S Ekbatana, " which arrived at Lingah
on the 1st of June, was suspected of carrying 15 cases of arms and
ammunition for this Port. As they had no opportunity of landing these cases
on the night of the 1st, Herr Hosenfeld, of Messrs. Wonckhaus and Company
the Steamship Company's Agents, proceeded to Bushire by the steamer with a
view, it was thought, of facilitating matters for discharging the arms either at
Bahrain, or at one of the other small Persian Coast Ports, or perhaps arranging
for dhows to take delivery at sea. 0
Only 13 rifles and 5 Mauser Pistols are said to have been jettisoned by boats
crossing over to the Persian Coast, but no doubt the actual figures were much
larger. In 1912 as many as (555 rifles and 43 Mauser Pistols were jettisoned.
Both the applicants for manumission, whose cases were still pending at
Slave Traffic. 9^ 0se y ear j were manumitted.
During the year 14 slaves applied for
redress, two were manumitted, one bolted after lodging his complaint, of the
remainder one returned to his master, and the rest were dismissed.
British India Steam Navigation Company, —The Company's fast Mail
British Interests. service was discontinued from the 1st of
^ , January 1913. This has been sadly felt,
and it would be ot great advantage to the Port if arrangements could be
made for Lingah to be included in the Fast Service.
The subsidiary service was maintained throughout the year, steamers calling
weekly on the Up trip and fortnightly on the Down. ^
Three extia steamers called here from Calcutta with rice.
Bombay-Persian Steam Navigation Company.—One ship called at the Port
on the Up trip, and 8 on the Down journey, three of which took pilo-rims
for Jeddah. This Company's trade with the port is almost insignificant. &
The Arab Steamers, Limited. —Eight ships belonging to this Company
called on the outward Up voyage from Bombay, and 8 on the Down.
Anglo-Algerian Steamship Company.—Only one steamer called at Lingah

voyage.
Buchnalls Steamship Company. —Two ships called on the outward voyage
none on the homeward. 5 *

cases Anglo-Persian Oil, mostly of the inferior quality, viz., " Palm tree "
brand.
Messrs. Gray Paul and Company. —Mr. W. A. Baird was in charge of
Messrs. Gray Paul and Company, up to 1st March when he was transferred to
h.uwait. From that date the firm's business has been conducted by a clerk.
It is a great pity the firm does not see its way to keeping a European Manager
here, but perhaps now that their business is improving they may be induced^to

ander review. The firm's business was by no means flourishing, and it is
aoubtlul whether it justifies its existence. Herr Rosenfeld is not a very tactful
man, and during the year lost many of his former customers. Owing to the
bad state of the European market for shells their export business in this com
modity was practically nil.
The Hamburg-Amerika Line. —During the year 14 steamers called at
■Mngah on the outward voyage from Hamburg, bringing 19,356 packages,
