..rub native craft have plied in the Gulf from time immemorial
without lights or buoys and that the owners and nakhudas of I I
such craft have never evinced the slightest desite to have

feel their way aiding the Coast such lights and buoys are of
very little use to them. Apart from this the luestion
arises if the f^rab rulers consented to the levy of light dues

idea of levying light dues on native craft may be drppped.
