I found this document while wandering the Maritime Museum in Radisson SAS Hotel (Kuwait), and it reads*:

الواقفون على مرسومنا هذا في السالكين بالبحار والسالكين بالبنادر في جميع الدول العظام المتحابة....البوم المسمى علوي ملك حسين ومحمد حسين أبناء محمد رفيع بهبهاني هما في جماعتنا أهل الكويت وتابعنا نؤمل في حكم دراية الدول العظام المتحابة اذا نظروا إليه ووقفوا عليه أن يعاملوه بالمعاملة اللائقة كما جرت به أصول وقوانين وشرائط الدول المتحابة هذا وأصدرناه و.....سلمناه كي لا يخفى ٢٧شوال١٣٣٦


صحيح
حاكم الكويت سالم
المبارك الصباح

Certified that this Kol(??) bears the seal of H.E. the Shaikh of Kuwait and states that the Boom named Alawi is the property of Hussain and Muhammad Hussain sons of Muhammad Rafi Behbehani subjects of Kuwait.

Captain,
P.G. Loch (signature)
Political Agent,

Kuwait,
Dated July 31st, 1918.

Sarko

Will Nicolas Sarkozy (the hungarian-born son of a Hungarian immigrant) become the next Président de la République Française? or maybe the quasi-married Socialist candidate Ségolène Royal will be the first French to officially represent la Marianne .

The Kuwaiti National Assembly will discuss a report on the Oil Tankers Misappropriations. Are we going to witness another addition to the open-ended parliamentary babbling or something new will pop-up? we'll wait and see.........
