From Viceroy, 25th March 1903.
V.—El-Katr. We have instructed Colonel Kemball, as proposed by us
and approved by yon (see your telegram of VMh). A further telegram dated
zznd has now been received from him, as follows:
„ ' Yesterday British Consul at Basra telegraphed that on the previous day
the Turkish gunboat had left that place for Eatr. Senior Naval Officer
has been informed. I think it most probable that Turkish officials designated
for Eatr posts will get their orders and escort from El Rasa and then
proceed by land, the gunboat being probably bound for El Bidaa, possibly
with the intention of subsequently assisting in the occupation of Zobara and
other places As 1 have just heard that she is still anchored at Fao, it may
be possible to obtain information as to her destination from the Turkish
Government. I think that pending a settlement of the questions British
ship of war should be stationed at Bahrein with orders that if information
is received of the occupation by the Turks of any of the places in question,
she should go there and enforce its abandonment, and, if necessary, bring the
Turkish officials to Bahrein. I presume that orders refer to the three places
named on Eatr. r
If you approve, the instructions proposed by Colonel Kemball, in respect
of Zobara, Odeid, and Wakra,will be issued on arrival of (t Berseus” at
Atuscat, whither we are arranging for her to proceed.
