It is estimated that the cost of putting the -, ship afloat will be .-.,..... £2000 i Amount payable to present proprietors iv J cash for purchase of Vessel 1500 Do. by 35113. for do. Fitting out and contingencies,, 2000 £7000 TT is proposed to form the above Company X for the purpose of taking the steam-ship " Victory" otf 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 tlic beach at high-water mar];, 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 under- ~ takings, proposes to lift the ship and convey her into deep water by means of n hydraulic apparatus (now i in use in England), for which he possesses a patent. I Mr. Scatt estimates the expense'of taking the ship ofl , at £-2000. •■'■■■•■ v The " Victory" was valued, at the time she was - rnn aahore, at from .-£2-3,000 to £30,000 ; and, in the opinion of competent judges, would be r/orth 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 liev over to the Company upon the following terms:—£lsoo to be paid down on giving -oosssSsiou, and £1000 in bills. It will be fox1 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 ".Vfctavy** 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 a 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 bo called for the purpose of pro- - perly organizing the Company. In the meantime applications for "Shares may be made at the office of Mensrs. R. B. Martin & Co. Dunedin, :Jan. 15, 1802. " CRICKET. . milE UNDERSIGNED be(rs to inform the a A.
