returned from India via Maskat. There were rumours in
the bazaar that this vessel had brought 3,000 rifles and ammunition from
Goguyer's firm and had landed them during 'the night far away from the Cus
toms house. The Shaikh denied the rumour and other enquiries failed to
substantiate it.
In October, Muhammad Dadallah, a Persian firearms dealer of Kuwait,
tried to smuggle 21 Mauser rifles by a mail steamer. The rifles were handed
over to Muhammad Dadallah's servant at Maskat by Mons. Nichan, and were
being brought over per S. S. " Goalpara." The package containing the rifles
was suspected by the ship's officers and, as enquiries failed to produce an
owner, it was handed over to His Britannic Majesty's Consul at Bandar
Abbas.
Towards the close of the year a report reached Kuwait that a caravan
which was conveying 400 rifles from Qatar for Bin Saud, had been wa yj aic f
and looted by A1 Morrah Bedouins in Hassa, these being arms landed at
either Doha or Wakra by Goguye/s firm. , ^
