on, JAMES CLARKS, Commandet ;

1,769 tons register ; '5,000 tons Iniithen.
Built expressly for this line, and is sister ship to the Donald
M'Kay, Champion of the Seas, Great Tasmania, Commodore
Perry, Empress of the Sea, &c. Her performances prove her
to be the fastest ship afloat, namely :
Liverpool to Melbourne 67 days.
Dttto • Ditto
Melbourne to Liverpool (port to port)
This passage is one week shorter than that of any other ship
afloat. On the 27th Feb., 1855, she ran 390 knots (or 455 miles),
and in eight consecutive days 2,158 knots (or 2,517 miles).
From the 28th June to 4th July, 1856, seven days, she ran, by
observation, 2,188 knots, (or 2,553 miles); and, on the last 25
days of the voyage, 6.958 knots (or 8,118 miles). On the 19th
March, 1857, she ran 430 knots (or 501 miles) ; and on the 20th
360 knots (or 419 miles), by observation, during the day of 231
hours. On her passage to Calcutta with troops, in 1857, she
beat every other ship, making the passage in nine days less
than the fastest clippers with troops either from London or
Liverpooh and carried 650 men and 29 officers with the greatest
comfort and satisfaction. The chief cabin is superbly fitted ;
and there is no passenger ship on the berth equal to this
renowned clipper.
