This wonderful Clipper will be despatched with Her Majesty's

point her out as one of the fastest ships of the age, and it is upon
the reputation she has thus acquired that the Proprietors of the
Line are prepared to guarantee that she will land her cargo in a
shorter period than any steamer or sailing vessel leaving England
about the same time. .

comfort and convenience. She has excellent accommodation for
