both industries appear to be distinct from one another, although it is quite' pro

will be noticed that Baluchis cease importing during the winter months from
December to April, during which season the Afghans are engaged in the traffic
They commence importing again early in May, slackening during the monsoon
months on account of the difficulty in getting boats to cross and reopen their
operations again in October.

On the 22nd March 1908, there was a rumour current at Jask that there
were 2,000 Afghans in the vicinity and that they intended to attack tb;
telegraph station if any of their arms were captured by His Majesty's shins
Mr. JNew arrived at Jask from Maskat the day after and at once instituted
carerul enquires as to the number of Afghans in the immediate vicinity and
their location. It was found there were some 600 to 600 Afghans scattered
over the Jask and Biyaban districts within a radius of 40 miles of Jask. Of
these 250 were camped in the hills above Arduri to the eastward of Jask, wait
ing for an expected landing of arms at Gabreg, but their plans were evidently
changed, because at the end of March they moved over to the westward of Jask
and joined the remaining Afghans who were encamped near Kuh Mubarak. *,
The Upper Gabreg patrol was thereupon transferred to Kuh Mubarak
and arrangemenis made with certain trustworthy men of old Jask, and of
villages further west, to bring in information of the movements of the snm^
