5 . Kuv/ait . I arranged "Shoreham’s** visit to Kuwait in ordei
to meet the Political Resident who was visiting there and who was
due to leave on the 26th.
The Political Agent called early the next morning and I
went ashore later to meet the Political Resident and stay at the .Agency.
As this call was paid on Friday the Political Agent was
not given his gun salute.
Calls were exchanged with His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin
Mubarak on Saturday. His Highness was in the best of spirits, and
as usual, delighted to visit one of H.M.Ships; feelings which he re
iterated on each occasion of meeting him.
