dangerous for any vessel lying alongside this wharf in shallot
water. There is no shelter of any description from the prevailin;
winds, i.e., southerly and north-westerly, and, as Dastak is II
miles from Bushire by sea, there is some risk in using this whar
except in settled weather. The construction of a break-wak:
from Reshire point in a south-easterly direction so as to foru
a sheltered anchorage would.be an expensive undertaking.
In 185P, the troops landed on the open sandy beach in Hal
Hleh bay, 10 miles south of Bushire, which was found in ever
way suitable. If there wete no opposition, the Customs Hous
is the most convenient landing place, as it is sheltered, has a loni
line of mud embankment faced with stone, and deep wafer
for boats alongside. Animals can w'alk ashore from nativs
craft, but there are no facilities for them.
Two other landing places are opposite the former Russia
and German Consulates, where the shore is sandy and firn;
In all the above cases however troops, even if landed in sraal
boats carrying 15-20 men apiece, would have to wade a shor
distance to reach dry land.
Shamdl' and the 7 aus would interfere with boats loading along
.side the ships, and their passage ashore. Provided the Shrtmal ;
not blowing, stores can be landed at Bushire all the year round
but troops cannot well be landed between April and Octok
on account of the extreme heat. A heavy swell sets in aboi
a month before the monsoon.
