worked out at over 4,000 gallons daily; there was no sign
of the supply of water failing.)
The well, which has been brick lined and covered in, has
a diameter of 13 feet and a depth of 30 feet. The depth
of water measured in March was 15 feet and this remains
very constant. There is one well situated inside the camp
which was used before the present system was introduced.
It has plenty of water, but of inferior quality, and it was
responsible for a good deal of sickness. A marked im
provement in the health of the troops has taken place since
the new well outside the camp was brought into use, and
there has been no water-borne disease since this date. For
washing purposes water is drawn from a well situated a
quarter of a mile from the centre of the camp.
The water supply of Bandar Abbas town is bad, being
from brackish wells, and can only be regularly drunk by
those used to it. There are 14 birkehs, mostly in a delapi-
dated condition and whose water supply cannot be depended
upon. The Naiband well has the only good drinking water
in the neighbourhood.
Roads .—The road between Naiband and Bandar Abbas
town is little better than a track in many places; the going
is through heavy sand. Of the proposed Bandar Abbas—-
Kerman road some ten miles only were completed (fully
metalled) when work was stopped. This section is now
rapidly falling into disrepair, and in many places is covered
over with sand drifts. A further section of six miles
beyond the metalled portion has been graded.
Camping Grounds. —^Excellent and extensive convoy and
camping grounds, well-drained, sandy and level exist to
the west of the camp.
Local Craft .—There are 10-12 rowing boats (capacity
10 to 15 men) and some 30 sailing boats. Of these, about
20, the majority of which are mashuwahs, Sambugs, and
bums, are generally to be found in the roadstead. Their
tonnage varies from about 20 to 25 tons, they are capable
of carrying 30-35 men. They draw from 6 to 8 feet of
water. _ *
