hours. On her passage to-. Calcutta. with troops, in 1857, she
beat every other ship, making the passage in nine days less
than the fasthst' clippers with troops either from London or
Liverpool, and carried 850 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. i -
