In reporting the results of his tour to the Secretary of State, Lord
Curzon subsequently remarked, with reference to his visit to Kuwait : —
Here, as at Masqat, I found that the visit itself, quite apart from any fresh

hoisted. The "Lawrence " and " Sphinx " arrived at 11 -30 a.m . at an
anchorage below the junction of Khors Zubair and Umm Qasr, the
