try and curtail the activities of the arms traders from the Arabian Coast to the
Persian Coast.
This traffic in arms though not on a large scale had been continuous for
some time owing to the Arabs in the interior getting rid of the stocks of arms
captured from the Turks and acquired by friendly tribes from the British
during the Mesopotamian campaign. These trickled in a continuous stream
across in dhows to the small Persian ports, chiefly from Kuwait and Qatar.
The Senior Naval Officer Captain J. L. Pearson, C.M.G., in H.M.S. Triad
patrolled in the Southern portion of the Gulf with Headquarters at Henjam
and H.M.S. Commander C. Sarel, O.B.E., the Northern part with
Headquarters at Bushire. Although a large number of dhows were searched
no rifles or ammunition were discovered, but the mere fact of these ships'
vigilant patrolling undoubtedly had a marked effect on the traffic. Later in
the year a special Intelligence Officer, Major R. F. Francis M.C., from Simla,
was attached to the Senior Naval Officer to assist him.
