.igent -nd oonsal, -sddah, to ildgh Oomnleeioiwr,
i have th^ honour to rofar to tm more r^e^nt monthly
reports from Jeddah, in which King Hus coin's intention to
purose two new steamers for the pilgrim trofflo h^s been
mentioned, -*nd to inform you ttut it is probable that the King )|
will fcond at least one of his ships to hasrah with pil;?rims
after the Haj. j^nowle.ige of the experiencee of pilgrims on
hmshimite steamers during the short journeys on the Red seu
make me very apprehensive about this larger project, whioh
involves a journey of at least fourteen days and the passage
of the Indian Oo 9 u.n during the monsoon*
2 * fho King has doubtless selected Hasrah because it is the
only pl* 3 e, other th&n ^kab^ where he m<.*y hope to escape the
penalties prescribed for overcrowding, J.neuiiicienoy of latrine
accommodation, lack of water, etc. There will be no control
here, because the 1 st rector of ^arantine works under the
direct orders of the ^dng. It is possible, then, that one of
the Royal Hashimite steamers will arrive at -Basrah full of
Ira^i imei Persian pilgrims in a condition which would expose
the d up tain, in a port controlled by th* aovernment of Indiu,
to a very heavy fine, ^hie might perhaps place tha Ira^
authorities in an awkward pcsixion, and I therefore take this
early opportunity to warn you.
3 . ag Kijoif Hussain might possibly think it safe to send
pilgrims to Persian Uulf Ports (e.g.Bahrain) , I am sending a
copy of this letter to the -British Resident # Bushire. Oopiee
are being sent to the Foreign Office also.
