" PROSPECTUS ~ \ ■ '" OF THE " VICTORY" SCREW STEAM-SHIP COMPANY, FOR PURCHASING, GETTING OFF, AND RE- : FITTING 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 for purchase of-Vessel 1500 Do. by Bills'for "do '.1500 Fitting out and contingencies. 2000 £7000 IT is proposed to form tbe above Company for the purpose of taking the steam-ship " Victory" ofi the beach, and re- fitting her for sea. The "Victory" is a screw-steamer of 1000 tons o-ross register, and fitted with engines of 180 horsepower. She is known as one ot the strongest and fastest vessels in Australia, She now lies on the beach at hi"-h-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 arc in perfect working order; and, if she were got oif, 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 undertaking proposes to lift the ship and con\eyher into deep filter by means of a hydraulic apparatus (now in use in England), for which he possesses a patent. Mr. Pcott estimates the expense of taking the ship oil Tile " Victory" was valued,-at the time she was rnn ashore, at from £20,000 to £30,000 ; and, in the opinion of competent judges, would be worth the same sum if successfully got ailoat again and rentted for sea. - , , , The hull of the " Victory" was purchased by her present proprietors, who offer to hand her over to the Company upon the following terms:—£lsoo to be paid down on givinar posspwion, and £1500 in bills. It will be for the shareholders to determine whether the Company shall sell the vessel and realize theii profit, or make arrangements to run her. The rapid increase of the New 2enl:iml trade has sriven greath increased employment to the colonial steamers ; and owin"- to the recent lo«s of several, such vessels are al the present time greatly in demand and enhanced ii value. The "Victory is well-known as a vesso eminently suited, from her size and speed, for the intercolonial trade, in which hhc might be employe< with great advantage to the province, and large dn-ec 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.
