Excerpt from The Persian Gulf and South Sea Isles
A trip I took up the Persian Gulf in 1901 with Sir E - d O'M y, who came from the Embassy at Constantinople to try a case of a British subject in Bagdad, gave me the chance of seeing many out-of-the-way scenes and places of interest.
So few tourists who go out to revel in the delights of the East ever seem to visit these parts, that I was persuaded to put these notes, made on the spot, into book form.
Suffice it to say, that it is necessary for anyone desirous of making the trip to be careful to go fully equipped with useful letters of introduction. No hotels exist, and, as soon as the steamers have left, one depends entirely on the kind hospitality and advice of the different residents.
On journeys inland, far out of the beaten tracks, without consular assistance, you carry your life in your hands, and are at the mercy of thieves and brigands.
