entered British territory between Humai and Saindak and to have carried off
a large caravan: it is probable that it passed on into Afghanistan.
It is reported by Major Heron from Dehanehbaghi that there is now no
trace at Bam of three Germans (see telegram No. S. K. I) -72, dated January
12th, from Officer Commanding, Kacha Koh, to Chief of General Staff, Delhi)
and 400 sowars who recently came there. He thinks that they have returned
to Kerman but possibly they have gone South-East in order to follow
lashkar into Afghanistan. There may even have been some Germans with
latter. At any rate it seems quite possible that they have taken this route.
As we have supplies for approximately 6 months at Kacha Koh there is no
possibility of sending reinforcements or of sending present garrison forward to
Bam and Kerman !
. or der to strengthen our blockade along Lut perhaps it would be possible
to induce Bussians to send troops down to Naiband and Biriand. Germans
are I believe, short of money and it is unlikely that their Persian levies will
hgnt hard.
