PROSPECTUS ~ op the "VICTORY" SCREAV 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 cash ibr purchase of Vessel 1500 Do. by Bills fordo 1500 Fitting out and contingencies 2000 £7000 IT is proposed to form the above Company for the purpose of taking the steam-ship " Victory" off the beach, and re-fitting her for sea. The "Victory" is a screw-steamer of 1000 tons gross register, aiid fitted with engines of 180 horsepower. She is known as one of the strongest and fastest vessels iv Australia. She now lies on the beach at hi'rii-water mark, and on sand, tliere 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 undertakiii"'s, 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 £35,000 to £30,000 ; aud, 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 offer to hand her oyer to the CompaiiV upon the following terms :-£looo to be naid down on giving possession, and £1500 m bills. It will he for the shareholders to determine whether tbe Company shall sell the vessel and realize their profit, or make arrangements to run her. The rapid increase ofthe New Zealand trade has given greatly increased employment to tbe colonial steamers ; and, owin»- to the recent loss of several, such vessels are at the present time greatly in demand aud enhanced in value The "Victory" is well-known as a vessel eminently suited, from h-.-r size nnd speed, for the intercolonial trade, iv 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, 1802.
