PERSIAN GULF

An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
Shatt-el-Arab, permission was asked to hand his captire subjects over to him to
be dealt with. Sanction to this course having been accorded, with the concur
rence of the Persian Goyernment, the pirates were taken to Mohammerah in
H.M.S. Sphinx. En route thither His Majesty's ship upon which the Resident
travelled called at Koweit and the pirates were confronted with Sheikh
Mubarak, who, as also his subjects, knew them well 3 they having lived for a
time in Kow^it and having been expelled from there owing to their evil
reputations. The Sheikh of Mohammerah who was fully familiar with their
career of crime felt it impossible to resort to public execution for fear
of arousing the hostility of the Muhaisin tribe, but expressed his intention
of imprisoning them for life. There the matter ended. This gang of pirates
was so well known all over the Gulf that their capture had a most beneficial
effect upon public opinion, and the incident became the chief topic of conversa
tion in the coffee shops of the Gulf ports lor some time afterwards.
Quarantine and Captain T. S. B. Williams, Kesidency Surgeon, supplies the following note
Health. on Quarantine Administration for the past year.
Under existing conditions there are three separate sanitary authorities
concerned with quarantine measures in the Gulf. These are—
(1) "Persian, —The Persian Government controls all sanitary matters of
the Persian chores of the Gulf. There are sanitary stations at Mohammerah,
Lingah, Bunder Abbas and Jask, with a large lazaret at Bushire. The
medical officers who manage the Persian service are British, being lent to
Persia by the Government of LaxHa. The staff consists of the
Residency

Surgeon, as Chief Quarantine Ofhcer, with an officer of the I.M.S. as Assistant,
and six Assistant Surgeons.
(2) British. —The sanitary authorities at Maskat, Bahrein and Koweit
are practically British, as all sanitary matters are carried out by British officials
under control of the Political Agents.
(3) TurJcish. —The Turks have a large lazaret at Basrah in charge of two
medical officers who are subordinate to the International Beard of Health in
Constantinople.
Epidemics, etc., during the year—JPlague. —On the 21st April 1907 a very
severe epidemic of plague broke out at Bahrein resulting in about 2,000 deaths
between the 21st April and the 5th June. As soon as the epidemic was declared,
stringent measures were taken to limit the outbreak. Quarantine was enforced
at all Gulf ports against Bahrein, and at Bahrein itself an inspection was made
of all passengers before embarkation. On the first rumours of the outbreak, large
numbers of the Persians inhabiting Bahrein fled carrying the pest with them.
Portunately, with the exception of a few infected persons who landed at Dayir,
all the remainder were caught at the various quarantine stations and detained.
At the Bushire lazaret there were sixteen cases of plague among immigrants
with nine deaths; at Lingah three cases with three deaths. The Governor of
the Gulf ports co-operated heartily with the quarantine authorities' and no
vessels coming from the Bahrein side were allowed to land passengers or cargo
at intermediate ports without having first been to a quarantine station and
received pratique. In the case of Dayir the Khan refused to obey the orders
sent him, with the result that the epidemic gained some foot ng there.
Measures were at once taken, however, to isolate Dayir and the disease did not
spread.
It was reported that two cases occurred at Basrah on the 2nd of June.
There was, however, some doubt as to whether these were really plague.
—There was no epidemic in the Gulf during the year, but danger
threatened owing to the very severe outbreak in the Hedjaz during the pilgri
mage of 1907-1908. It was decided that all ships leaving J eddah for the Persian
Gulf sliould be dealt with according to Article 150, Paris Convention, 1903.
further it was ordered that all <c infected " or "suspected " ships should first of
all proceed to Bushire for the necessary disinfecting processes prior to being
permitted to land pilgrims at the minor ports. Healthy ships not having had
the provisions of Article 150 applied at Jeddab were counted as suspected
