It is interesting to note that this spring, the Persian
craft which regularly visit this port with sheep«i goats etc.
did not bring any grain in bulk, as has been their custom,
owing to the failure of the rainfall in Persia; but these
craft purchased and exported from Bahrain to Persia grain
in bulk which had been brought here from Iraq.
Also, during the year 1350, this port was visited by
448 native craft, apart from foreign motor launches and
steamers, as follows.
Iraq registrations 168 oraft,
Arabian 142
Persian 59
Indian 58
African 21.
448

These oraft use the port, partly for import into
3ahrain, partly for re-export of cargo, and to a consi­

derable extent for direct transhipment of cargo at sea,
