quarantine fees which they lost through passengers disembarking at
Muhammareh and proceeding thence to Basrah by land. Early in 1892
the Turkish Government openly urged the necessity of a station such
as Fao in order to prevent the evasion of sanitary control by passengers
for Basrah who might disembark at Muhammareh; but their suggestions,
aiming at international recognition of the Fao station, were opposed by
the representatives of Great Britain and Russia upon the Constantinople
Board of Health and were for the moment dropped. At the beginning
of 1894, however, the Board of Health, yielding doubtless to Turkish
representations, advised that a quarantine station should be established
at Fao for the reception of arrivals from India, also a floating lazaret in
the Shatt-al-^Arab above the mouth of the Karun to deal with passengers
from Muhammareh to Basrah.
