The advantages resulting from the use of Steam Vessels arc too
firmly established to require comment: it is, however, universally
admitted that the Vessels and Machinery hitherto employed are,
not adapted to distant voyages or tempestuous weather.
To obviate the admitted defects in Steam Navigation, the
draughts and models of several patents of great merit in naval
architecture and machinery have been investigated by gentlemen of
atrience and nautical expetience, to whom it has been satisfactorily
demonstrated, that by the combined aid of the patents selected
and the employment of propelling engines on the best principles,
it is confidently anticipated that vessels combining benefits so
superior will make the passage from London to Calcutta, by the
Cape of Good Hope (in despite of contrary winds and currents), in
110 days, and to the ports of the West Indies and America in a
proportionate time; and that the Company will, with such iin-
porunt advantages, divide a very considerable annual profit, the
aomparative risk being :man, and losses guarded against by the
property being ensured in London.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Bankers by letters,
post-paid, addressed " To the Directors of the British Steam and
Patent Navigation Company."
Prospectuses may be had of the Bankers.
