November 13, 1933.
Lieut-Colonel g. Loch,
w . B. M's Political Agen
Bahrein.
le are making preliminary plans for shipping oil through
a submarine line which will run from a base on sitra Island to
the deep water just outside the entrance to Khor Kaliya. We
plan to have ships enter this deep water anchorage by approaching
the north-east corner of the Island of Muharraq, and from there
passing down the deep water channel on the eastern side of
I'uharraq, a certain number of buoys will be necessary to mark
the channel; also detailed
soundings
Measurements of the depth of a body of water.
will be needed to make
certain there are no shoals or sand banks.
(') Recently, H. M. S. "Ormonde** did some very detailed work in
this particular area, and T am wondering if it would be possible
for us to obtain the full detail of their work without waiting
for it to appear in print on the regular Admiralty chart forms.
A 1 so do you think the s.s. ^learchus"-would consider making a
marine survey for us, if this is necessary in addition to the
information from F.M.S, ^Ormonde" ? Would they consider setting
the channel buoys ?
Could you advise me what permits, both from Fis Majesty's
Government and fro^ the Local Authorities, would be required
before we could undertake such a survey and install the necessary
marine facilities ?
I have some maps and charts partially covering this entire
matter, and also considerable data which we have already worked
up, and would be pleased to discuss all of this with you at any
time.
Yours sincerely,
