giving instructions^in case the report proves true, that
Captain Enox should, if possible, reach Koweit before the
German Engineers arrive there. Captain Kno* is expected
to reach Bombay about the 12th instant.
Mr. Brodrick observes that your letter under reply
deals only with the question of the action to be taken in
the event of the report as to the German Engineers proving
true. he would suggest, for the consideration of the
Marquess of lansdowne, that Captain Knox should in any
case be instructed to proceed to Eoweit on his arrival in
the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
. ^his course appears to be contemplated
in Sir U. 0*Conor's despatch of the 18th September Bo.637,
on the subject of the evacuation of Bubiyan Island by the
Turks. a further reason which appears to make Captain
Knox's presence in Koweit desirable is the arrangement
reported in Sir IT. 0*Conor's telegram of the 1st instant
for the establishment of a Turkish Postal Official at
Koweit
