to receive the a^enPs prisoners on board, and the matter IthuB lost
its importance.
In 1904, after Lord Curzon's inspection of Khor 'Abdullah,
representations were made by the Government of India to His
Majesty's Government as to the extreme undesirability of allowing both
sides of that inlet-perhaps the most convenient terminus for a
railway from Baghdad to the

-to fall permanently into the
hands of a power not very amenable to British influence. The question
of Bubiyan Island, which the Shaikh of Kuwait asserted to belong to
his principality, and the occupation of which by the Turks was regarded
by His Majesty's Government as a breach of the engagement to respect
the status quo at Kuwait, was raised diplomatically at Constantinople;
but no favourable opportunity of pressing for evacuation of the island
could be found, and the Turkish post on Bubiyan was not withdrawn.

arrangement in question was brought about largely through the instru-
mentality of Shaikh Mubarak of Kuwait, who assumed, somewhat
unexpectedly, the role of intermediary. Two meetings for discussion
were held on the frontier between Kuwait and 'Iraq-the first at
Safwan on the 8th, and the second at the Qash'aniyah wells on the
13th of February-between Ibn-Sa'ud and Mukhlis
