Tlie "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 roclufor dangers iv the way of taking her off. She is - not strained or injured in any way. Her engines are :1' in perfect working order; and, if she were got off, '- which Mr. James Scott (the Engineer) states may be II easily accomplished at moderate expense, she might be fitted for sea at short notice, and at a trilling outlay. " Mr. James Scott, of Newcastle, N.S.W., proprietor ofthe patent slip there, nnd well-known for his ingc--0 nious and successful accomplishment of similar undera takings, proposes to lift the ship and convey her into y deep water by means of a hydraulic apparatus (now '-> in use in Enirland), 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 he worth tho same ft sum if successfully got afloat again and refitted tf for sea. , . , , The hull ot the " Victory" was purchased by her 0 present proprietors, who offer to hand her over to the Company upon the following terms:—£lsoo to be " paid down on giving possession, and £1500 in bills. It wiil be for the shareholders to determine whed th»r the Company shall sell the vessel and realize their n profit, or make arrangements to run her. The rapid »- increase ofthe New Zealand trade has given greatly '- increased employment to the colonial steamers; and, *> owin"- 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 emincntlv suited, from her size and speed, for the i- intercolonial trade, iv which she might be employed r, with gTcat advantage to the province, and large direct le profit to the proprietors. A. limited number of shares are still open, appliv cations for which must be made at the office of R. B. re Martin & Co., on or before the 17th March next, on which day a meeting of the Company will take place, and the final allotment of shares will he made. I Dunedin, Feb. 27,1802.
