BARDISTAN— LaT. cape 27° 49' SO" 7 Long. 52° 2' 5"-) F
reef 27° 41' 51° 52' 30" 5 ‘
A village, cape and reef in the Dashti district of Pars. The village is 1^
miles north-north-east of Daiyir and the same distance from the month of
a valley which comes down from Kuh-i-Dirang to the sea, 2 miles east of
Daiyir. It contains 100 houses of Paqiheh, Jatut and 5 Amranis and a tall
Bddgir. The reef is now generally known as Ras-ul-Mustaf (q. v.). The
“ reef,” says Brucks, ‘‘ extends from Munakala to longitude 51° 52' 30", and
south as far as latitude 37° 41' north. It is dry in many parts at low water.
It is formed of hard sand and rocks, and is dangerous, to approach in the
night under 10 fathoms, as it shoals quickly. Within that depth the gap
mentioned by McClure is very small, and may have filled up since his time.
In a nor’-wester, if you wish to anchor, you should do so in the tail of the
reef with the following bearings, where you will lie sheltered :—Centre hum
mock of Kenn north 26° west, or a little open to the east of Funnel Hill;
spare tower knob on the deep gap of high land north 10° west ; Bataneh
Tower near the beach north 3° east, true bearing in 5 fathoms, or, if you
like, you may run farther in on the bearing of the latter ; but this is the
best place to weigh from in case of a sou’-easter coming on, as you may
run out south-west or west by south from it until you deepen your water
by crossing the bank. ”— (Pelly—Bruchs — Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. Gazetteer, 1908.)
