[H.M.S. Clematis has returned from the Persian Gulf, where her duties have been the suppression of piracy and slave running.]

What is the Navy doing in the Persian Gulf? Official announce ments reveal little of its activities in these waters beyond the bare statements of a ship's departure

for the atation or her retura, and an occasional appointment of an officer to relieve a comrade in-

valided home on account of the

climate.

There is never the slightest hint of the arduous but romantic nature of service in the Gulf, nor even of ita necessity, for the sup-

One of my earliest experiences RA a Britannia cadet was being told by a seamanship instructor that the Persian Gulf afforded the one exception to the golden rule to use the lee side of r. ship for coming alongside.

When coming alongaldo an Ari- bian slave dhow you must be careful to come alongside the weather side. The slaver prefers you under his lee, so that he may cut his halliards and envelope your crew with his huge sail as It comes rushing "down. "Then

We hear very little about these activities. possibly because they accord so badly with the unprae- tical ideals of those who declare that mankind no longer needs an nimed police force to prevent. piracy at sea or interference with British subjects in foreign lands, The slave trade, as a result of more than 100 years of suppres- sion by the British Navy, has been reduced to tiny proportion, A few hundreds each year Alter through as crews of the dhows, Generally speaking there are few complaints of ill-treatment.

It is in the Interests of the mas ter to keep his pearl-diving slaves in the soundest health. On this not only depends the slaves' value but also the value of their pro-

It was trade which brought the Navy into the Persian Gulf adr three hundred years ago. Trade still retains ships there. There Is also the vital necessity of pro! tecting the Anglo-Parsian oil up-]
