EESIDENCY FOR THE YEAR 1905-1906.

This sub- district was up to t\ie beginning of the year in charge of the Hot

seems to have courted the displeasure of his chief

Said Khan, who early
in the year deprived him of the Customs at Pussum Bunder (near Oharbar)
and appointed a man named Lusljari. It was reported in December that Hot
Takir Mahomed out of jealousy murdered his rival Luskari, and decamped
with his family and belongings to the Arab Coast.
Hot Pakir Mahomed's telegraph subsidy for the half-year ending the 31st
December had not been paid up to the end of the year, and as he is not likely
to return to the Mekran, it will be necessary to appoint another headman of
the Para 0, sub-district. An application has been made to the telegraph
authorities by one Hot Lulla, a relative of Hot Fakir Mahomed's, who repre
sents himself as the acknowledged head and has promised to look after the
district and the interests of the Telegraph Department. His title to a subsidy
is under consideration.
The Afghan commonly known as Kalipha, but whose real name appears to
be Khair Mahomed, is the centre and
figurehead of the arms traffic between
Maskat and the Mekran ports of Sadech, Galeg and Tank. Kalipha resides at
Kerwan (15 miles north-west of Rapch) where he is much respected as a high
priest and has a considerable following of Afghans. Some of these Afghan
retainers are sent to Maskat to buy rifles and ship them secretly, while others
on this side scour the country for transport of camels,

Said Khan must be cognizant of this smuggling of arms, and it is
rumoured that lie receives a fee of two dollars on each rifle landed. The
number of rifles imported during the year (1904-1905) is estimated at three
thousand with one hundred rounds of ammunition to each gun.
This year early in January His Majesty's Ship Redbreast called at Galeg
and probably this fact put Kalipha on his guard as he was subsequently reported
to have informed his Maskat buyers to suspend all shipments.
The periodical passage of gunboats across to the arms smuggling ports
undoubtedly act as an excellent deterrent for the time being.
The chief exports of Gaih are dates and Mekrani rice which are grown in
abundance in the north. Ghee is also

comparatively well behaved throughout the year. Mir Abdi Khan has a bad
reputation for constantly looting the property of telegraph servants and British

seems evident that both the brottiers are well liked by the inhabitants, and
they treat their subjects with consideration and much better than the chiefs of
the adjoining districts.
No damage has been done to the line during the year.
