PROSPECTUS "VICTORY" SCREW STEAM-SHIP COMPANY, FOR PURCHASING, GETTING OFF, AND REFITTING THE SCREW STEAM-SHIP " VICTORY." Capital : £7000; in 1400 Shares of £5 each. £2 payable upon allotment, and the remainder in calls not exceeding £1 each, extending over a period of Four Months. It is estimated that the cost of putting the ship afloat will be £2000 Amount payable to present proprietors in casli for purchase of Vessel 1500 Do. by Bills for do Fitting out and contingencies 2000 £7000 TT is proposed to form the above Company for the purpose of talcing the steam-ship " Victory" off the beach, and re-fitting her for sea. The "Victory" is a screw-steamer of 1000 tons gross register, and fitted with engines of 180 horsepower. She is known as one of the strongest and fastest vessels in Australia. She now lies on the beach at high-water mark, and on sand, there being no rocks or dangers in the way of taking her off. She is not strained or injured in any way. Her engines are in perfect working order; and, if she were got off, which Mr. James Scott (the Engineer) states may be easily accomplished at moderate expense, she might be fitted for sea at short notice, and at a trifling outlay. Mr. James Scott, of Newcastle, N.S.W., proprietor of the patent, slip there, and well-known for his ingenious and successful accomplishment of similar undertakings, proposes to lift the ship and convey her into deep water by means of a hydraulic apparatus (now in use in England), for which he possesses a patent. Mr. Scott estimates the expense of taking the ship off at £2000. The "Victory" was valued, at the time she was rnn ashore, at from £25,000 to £30,000 ; and, in the opinion of competent judges, would be worth the same sum if successfully got afloat again and refitted for sea. The hull of the " Victory" was purchased by her present proprietors, who ofter to hand her over to the Company upon the following terms: —£lsoo to be paid down on giving possession, and £1500 in bills. It will be for the shareholders to determine whether the Company shall sell the vessel and realize their profit, or make arrangements to run her. The rapid increase of the New Zealand trade has given greatly increased employment to the colonial steamers; and, owing to the recent loss of several, such vessels are at the present time greatly in demand and enhanced in value. The "Victory"' is well-known as a vessel eminently suited, from her size and speed, for the intercolonial trade, in which she might be employed with great advantage to the province, and large direct profit to the proprietors. One-half of the shares have already been taken up, and on a sufficient number being allotted, a meeting of Shareholders will be called for the purpose of properly organizing the Company. In the meantime applications for "Shares may be made at the office of Messrs. R. B. Martin & Co. Dunedin, Jan. 15,1862.
