Shaikh ; Iea said that he would consider the subject with his sons and
brother^ and His Excellency admitted that this was a very proper
course; but at the same time he warned the Shaikh that the matter
could not be dropped^ and that definite proposals for a change must be
submitted shortly. After the interview had lasted more than half an
hour the Shaikh took his leave.
Expected An opportunity had been arranged for Shaikh Ahmad of Dohah in
Shaiktfof ^ a ^ ar mee t the Viceroy at Bahrain for the purpose of paying his
Do^iah. respects and stating his views concerning his relations with the British
Government. Had he appeared he would have received an assurance^
authorised by His Majesty's Government^ that the friendship of the
British Government would be continued to him so long as he abstained
from entering into engagements with any other power ; but ; in consequence
of the invitation sent by Colonel Kemball not reaching him in time, he
was absent, and the assurance remained uncommunicated.

the 28th of November, the "Hard-
mge" reached Kuwait, whither the larger ships of the squadron had
preceded her, and was accompanied by H. M. S. "Pomone" to the inner
anchorage. A salute of 81 guns was fired from an antiquated
battery in front of the Shaikh^s residence, and the " Hardinge"
had scarcely dropped anchor when Shaikh Mubarak himself stepped on
board, accompanied by Colonel Kemball, the Political Kesident, to enquire
for Lord Curzon^s health and to learn the time fixed for his official visit.
At 3 o^clock in the afternoon, the hour appointed, he returned to the
" Hardinge " accompanied only by Shaikh J abir, his eldest son, and was
received with precisely the same ceremonial and etiquette as had been
observed at the formal visit of the Shaikh of Bahrain. Among the
presents he received was a sword, and on taking it from His Excellency's
hands the Shaikh remarked that he also required a belt, as he was now
" one of the soldiers ^ (ahad min al ''asakir),—by which perhaps he meant
a military official of the British Empire. At his departure he was honoured
with a salute of five guns.
After the Shaikhs visit. Lord Curzon proceeded in the "Sphinx" to
examine the headwaters of Kuwait Bay, in the neighbourhood of Kadha-
mah,— an operation which occupied the remaining hours of daylight and
in the course of which the a Sphinx ^ was temporarily aground.
At 10 a. m. on the 29th of November the "Viceroy left the " Hardinge "
under a salute of 31 guns from the a Pomone and landed at Bandar
Shuwaikh, a boat anchorage about three miles from the town, " where
" Shaikh Mubarak, with his sons and chief retainers awaited him at the "
"head of a gallant gathering of Arab horsemen. The Viceroy and"
" Mubarak entered the only carriage which Kuwait boasts of, horses were "
" provided for His Excellency's suite, and then, amidst the firing of guns "
