It might be urged that to discontinue the steamers

allow such considerations to trouble us.Sheikh iio-

am still inclined to think that it would be well to
discontinue the visits of the steamers for a bime
and to explain clearly to Sheikh Ilobarhc tnat ones;
will not be allowed to return until tne ouai antine
question as regards British steamers is satisfacto
rily settled from our point of view. The line of
argument that I should adopt would oe tnat iiooody
is compelled to travel by British steamers unless
they want to and that the English have a perfect
right to do as the} please with their own steamers
and to make what rules and regulations they please.
The penalty for foolish rules and* regulations is not
in the hands of Bheikh Hobarak but that the English
t/iii lose passengers and caip»o if they hamper their
trade with foolish restrictions. Consetantious ob
jectors can stag - at hone tout that we shall regard as
unfriendly an’d disloyal any order, open or secret,
forbidding Koweit subjects generally to travel by
Bril ash st earners.
Vfe regard as equally unfriendly his drastic
order compelling unfortunate passengers to go on to
Pao or lluhammerah exposing them to quaraitine
and a great loss of time and money .This is
doing so.He is spriviu^
unpopular on account of
f an order to impose quarantine
