he
kept them
there on
the
plea
of quarantine due
to
mumps, at
the same
time
he
advanced one platoon
to Flpal with orders to pitch tents in a conspicuous
position and patrol dally to Begadag via Pllanl Cunt
(all places being indisputably in British territory).
Iranian patrolling stopped immediately and news of the
arrival of this platoon was despatched to Naib Durrani
who left Gwetter at once on his return Journey after
reporting the matter to Chahbar. However I was
informed In S untsar t and later in Kast££, that he
was stopped in Bahu-Kalst by a camel sowar who
brought orders to the effect that he should not
proceed until receipt of further orders,
b• There the matter rested until the day before
my arrival (15.3.38) when an Iranian aeroplane openly
flew over British territory several miles Inside the
frontier, searching either for my party ( I had spread
news of
my
coming
in
tiie hope
that
some one would
meet me)
or
else
for
their own
post
at handor Sunt,
over which they eventually dropped a message. It is
reported, though not confirmed, that a HaJ dan, an
Iranian military officer of some rank, was in the
aeroplane and that in his message he first ordered
the Kandor Bunt post commander to interfere in no
way with my party and to cease patrolling, and then
stated that he himself was on his way to Karachi,
that
he
would
return
to
Gwetter
on
23rd
March 1938
and
hoped
to
arrive
at
Kandor S
unt
on or about
2nd
April
1938
(the
latter part
of
this
message
was reported to you in my telegram No. Camp 101
dated 80 th March 1938).
