The Ruler is anxious to start a small hospital ship
for the diving this year & is arranging for drugs & an Assistant
Surgeflm. I write on his behalf to ask for your assistance in acquir
ing a large 1 BOO' 11 of the type in use in iCuw&it. bheik Hamad has
written to the ohaik of Kuwait to ask him to give youfe any assistance
should you wish him to help & informimg him that I have supplied you
with details of what is required. X am sorry to trouble you,but it
necessary that someone who fully understands what is required should
keep an eye on the matter for us.
We want a boat capable of holding -
\l) a small cabin for the asst-surgeon i indian)
12) a small place for drugs.
13 ) accomodation for about 4 sick b&nks for urgent cases.
( 4 ) a small place forward for shelter for the crew if nedess&ry 1 they
would normally sleep etc on the deck)
If it would be possible in addition to have sufficient space to
subsequently fit in a small kero sine oil auxiliary engine it would
be s great advantage.If you could give us any information reg^iding
this it would be helpful.Has any Kuwait boat had such an engine
fitted?
The boat may be either new or second hand in good condition & we
would like cabins fitted in Kuwait so that the boat can come here
complete in time to take Part in the diving oper 1 tions.
It is realised , of course, that even in a large f Boom* the cabins
will be small, but that cannot b© helped We cannot run to a. st@?m
launch & the primary idea is merely a flaotinf dispensary with
abitlity to take on board a few urgent cases occa sion-flly•
if you would select the most suitable thing & wire me the
price for ahaik Hamad's approval plus estimated cost of fitting out
according to above requirements,! would let you know immediately
