the seventeenth century. when the Arabs of the

large revenue from 1t, but although negotiations
with him for its prohibition might require diplo

with at least one other power it is the only effec

and treasure the Indian forntier.
At present the efforts of the British navy are
handicapped by the fact that the photographed
conditions of Muscat as indeed of the whole lit
tora of the gulf do not allow preventive ships
to go very close to the coast 1t is this fact which
enables the gunrunning dhows to escape the vigil
lance of British cruisers.
Thus the dhows which put out from Muscat
with their contraband cargoes adopt the simple
plan of hugging the coast within the shallow-wa
ter limits. If they making for Koweit, which

and western Persia, they can proceed all the way
in comparative safety. otherwise they sail just

There are also in Muscat numerous small shops
engaged in the trade and numbers of the agents
are "banias" from India. Mysterious cargoes are

signs of increasing turbulence, but the
frontier territories from one end to
the other are already full of modern
arms and ammunition, while more is
pouring into them every day by every
secluded track leading through Balu-
chistan and the Afghan hills.
In addition to this, the present

All this, as every Indian officer
knows, is involved in the continuance
of the persistent gun-running which is
marking the growing war fever on the
Indian northwest frontier through the
Persian gulf. 1t is not too much to
say that the peace and safety of India
depend upon the suppression of this
trade, and yet, owing chiefly to the
paucity of British naval resources
there, she can do little or nothing.

correspondent from India writes that the
British gunboats In the Persian gulf have been
very active in suppressing the traffic In rifles and
ammunition. The arms were being landed on the
Makran coast and thence were carried by cara
vans for sale to the tribesmen on the northwest
frontier of India, to be used against the Brit
ish troops when the next trouble comes The
navy reported to have been very sue
cessful and made several good haus of rifles and
ammunition. To reduce still further the gun-run-
ners chances of profit, four companies of the
Fourteenth Sikhs were sent from Ouetta to inter-
cept caravans in the neighborhood of Robat. One
of our illustrations depicts the entraining of some
of the transport camels at Jaccbabad In Sind, en-
route to Nushki, whence the column marched to
Robat.
AS a rule, when camels entrained they are
loaded on open trucks, but on this occasion 1t
thought advisable to make use of closed cars.
The "oouts" strongly objected to being loaded, but
with rope behind the hooks and steady per-
suasfve strain on the rope they were event
ually hauled pushed in. Once in the car the
camels werc made to kneel down in the sand
which had been spread ON the floor, their knees
were then tied so that 1t was impossible for them

three in each end, facing inward The space in
the middle was utilized for saddles and fodder for
the journey. Two camelmen also travelled in each
car. 1t may be remarked that Brahuis differ from
most people in that they do not notice that the
camel has particularly offensive odor. The
camels dubbed and protested while being load
ed. but they soon settled down and began to eat
the fodder provided for them. 1t took five hours
to load the first train of 100 cames. O1ly one
came that had unusually large hump could
