Please refer to your telegram of the 6th October, No. 582. I still recommend
that a ship of war be located in or near Shatt-el-Arab for date season. RedbZst

merah and is about to make third taking me. It would be convenient if she
remamed in north of Gulf for general work until the end of pearling season which is
close at hand and then be considered as on duty at head of the Gulf including
Shatt-d-Aruh,

Mohammerah. As long as I can assume that I am
at liberty to send her at my discretion as far as Mohammerah that will suffice and
no special representation to His Majesty’s Government seems to be necessary
If need arose for her presence between Basrah and Mohammerah ship could
move up on Crow s requisition or concurrence. ^ .

Please refer to paragraph 5, first enclosure of my letter No. 2529, dated
feeptember 18th. Owing to attitude of Wali in regard to status of Kuwait and
animosity existing between him and Shaikh Mubarak, I did Dot think that course
suggested by Shaik of Mohammerah was then advisable or that it would be
welcome by Mubarak. The position has since been modified bv the Wali’s recall
and Kuwait now names two Mohammerah subjects living in Turkish limits and
suggests that we should demand their surrender to us on the ground that the
piracy took place on the high seas for the security of which we have made
ourselves responsible.
