a low, sandy projection running southwards from the main line of the

The bay is easy of access and forms a capital anchorage in a shimdl, but
it is exposed to easterly and south-easterly winds. The shore is flat and
sandy, the water is deep close to the beach, and little or no tidal stream is
felt in the exchange. A very small pearl bank is said to be east of the village
at about | a mile off shore. There are steep hills inland of the village, which
is amply supplied from 5 reservoirs filled by their drainage. Chiru village
consists of about 200 houses of the ’Ubaidli ’Arab tribe, who are Sunnis,
They possess some fi e-trading vessels which run all over the Gulf, to ’Oman
and occasionally to Basrah ; also five pearl-boats which visit the western
coast of the Gulf and a dozen fishing baqdrehs and suh-ais, which are used
for sea-fishing and in summer for pearling operations off the adjoining
island of Hindarabi. The local authority is ’Abdullah-bin-Muhammad
’Abdur-Rasul, ’Ubaidti tribe, but he ordinarily resides at Baikhih Armaki,
leaving a brother in charge of Chiru. The revenue, amounting to 16,000
tumdns a year, is payable to the Governor of Bastak. There is here a post
