The outbreak created considerable panic amongst the population of Dibai,
"vv-ho fled wholesale to Bahrein, Lingah, Kishm Island, Bunder Abbas, and their
adjacent coasts.
The voyage was usually made in sailing vessels, with the fixed intention of
avoiding being quarantined.
By landing on secluded parts of the Coast, well away from any Port, a
certain number evaded the regular Quarantine Service.
The Persian Authorities were requested to put a stop to this procedure;
but it was usually not until the request had been repeated or the force of the
request brought home to them by the appearance of plague within their limits
that they attempted to tackle the very difficult problem in an effective manner.
Plague was thus introduced into Lingah, Bunder Abbas and Kishm Island
on the Persian side and into Bahrein on the Arab Side.
Plague also appeared at Mohamerah and Abadan, being probably, imported
litre from Basrah.
The single case of plague in Bushire was traced to Mohammerah.
The following table details the number of cases of Plague and the case mor
tality actually reported at the various Ports during the year.
It must be remembered that save at the Anglo-Persian Oil Companies Sta
tion at Abadan, no regular Health Service exists within any of these Ports <
and that these figures only represent the number of cases and deaths coming to
the personal knowledge of the Quarantine Medical Officer concerned.
They in no way represent the full extent of the outbreak. Thus the Quaran
tine Medical Officer only reports the 31 cases with 3 deaths seen by himself
Tit kishm Island during his visits there. From local reports given to him he
estimates that the total number of deaths from Plague on Kishm while the
epidemic lasted was probably nearly four hundred:—
