Masqat

All but 3,000 of the 12,000-man garrison have already been evacuated by ship and plane, most to British bases in Bahrain or Masqat and Oman; the rest will be gone by the middle of next week.

This is an Epistle from God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting, unto Sulaymán in the land of Masqát, to the right of the Sea.
