Early in 1920, the column which accompanied the Sub-Divisional Officer
on inspection of the lines, from Jask to Gwadur punished the Joushdaris (who
had been giving considerable trouble by cutting our lines, removing iusulators,
threatening our lino staff) by destroying a portion of their date groves and huts
sinco when they have refrained from doing any damage.

Bahu District. '
Mirs Subban Khan and Ahmed Khan are joint chiefs of this district.
There has been no trouble in this district both chiefs beiug quiet and un­

justice.
General.
There ha3 been no rainfall this season and a severe famine therefore
appears imminent. The anti-British feeling is not so strong as it used to be
but the people of the country are independent and defiant and as a rule
the chiefs do not have the control they had a short time back. Our relations
with all the chiefs have been and continue to be friendly.
