14. The quarantine station, which is the chief feature of Tor, was “ out
of hounds ” even for a conducted tour during our stay as two pilgrim ships were
in harbour and their passengers were undergoing the prescribed three days in
the enclosure. The season for the return of the pilgrims from Jeddah to the
North appears to extend for some weeks after the actual festival, whereas those
from the South, who go through the quarantine station at Kamaran, tend te

15. The two pilgrim ships were the s.s. “ Kawsar ” of the Misr line who
had distinguished herself by running on a reef South of Jeddah during one of
her trips this year and the s.s. “ Zamzam ” of the same line.
