in the Karwan district until a sufficient number had been collected to
load a caravan. Commander Somerville^s principal suggestions were that
a ship based on Jashk, or preferably on Chahbar, should be employed to
patrol the coast, and that the movements of Afghans trying to procure
camel transport near the coast should be carefully watched by the employes
of the Indo-European Telegraph Department.
A little later, Vice-Admiral Poe himself visited the Gulf and reported Vice- Admiral
to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty on the subject of the traffic ^ >0 ® ,s ^port.
in arms. He thought that there was little hope of the trade being sup
pressed by the British war vessels on the station, which were too large and
drew too much water for the purpose, especially as their whereabouts must
always be well known and their movements were carefully watched by the
Arabs. He anticipated good results, however, from the possession by
the Persian Imperial Customs of some steam launches, which had recently
been built for them at Bombay.
The next event of importance in connection with the trade was the ^P uta ^oii
deputation of Captain F. McConaghey, Assistant

Makran, to confer with the local officials and with a representative whom Maki-an
the Persian Government proposed to send from Tehran. Captain April to June
McConaghey marched along the coast from Pasni via Gwadar to Chah- 1906 *
bar, where he met with Mirza Mahmud Khan, the local Mudir of
Customs, who had in the meantime been substituted for the delegate from
Tehran. The party left Chahbar on the 18th of April, and, after visiting
Parag, Kair, Bir, Bandani, Tank and Galag by the way, arrived at a
camp near Balak on the Rapch river. As the Governor of Bampur,
the Sa'ad-ud-Dauleh, who was then at Gaih, could not be induced to
come down to the coast. Captain McConaghey and Mirza Mahmud
Khan started on the 1st of May for Gaih, which they reached, via
Bint, on the 7th. With much difficulty, after 10 days' persuasion,
the Governor consented to return with the delegates to the Karwan
district on the Rapch river, which was clearly shown to be the prin
cipal seat of the trade. Here, on the 27th of May, the Sa^ad-ud-Dauleh
held a public

at which he informed the Chief of Gaih and
the notables and headmen present that the importation of arms into
Persia by sea was strictly prohibited between Chahbar and Sadaich,
and that they would be held responsible for preventing it.

Mirza Mahmud Khan. A little later it was formally accepted at
Chahbar by the Ittila/-ud-Dauleh, Karguzar of Muhammareh, whom
the Persian Government had deputed as a second representative or
their part to deal with the question of the arms traffic in Southern
Persia. The text of this Agreement forms Annexure No. 5 to the
present Appendix.
The investigations of Captain McConaghey threw much fresh light
upon the new conditions of the trade. He found that almost every ^ptain 7
