ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is established for the purpose of granting
temporary loans and advances on eligible ships and other
Marine property, by way of mortgage or assignment, covered
by Policies of insurance, and on such other security as may
be found desirable. Money will also be received on deposit
for stated periods, upon interest to be ,greed. and will be
employed in like manner with the capital, the uncalled por-
ton of whic,, and the property held on mortgage by the
Company, will at all times afford ample security to depo-
sitors.

The estimated value of British vessels mortgaged is up-
wards of five millions sterling. It thus becomes apparent
that a wide field exists for a well-established Company of
this kind.

The want of some ready channel for obtaining loans on
shipping has been so severely felt that the Directors enter
with confident on the prosecution of a class of business
hitherto transacted by private individuals with considerable
profit.

In addition to the profits on capital, which are estimated
at from 10 to 15 per cent., the Directors have facilities for
borrowing at such rates as to yield a surplus profit of 5 to 6
per cent.
The detailed prospectus and forms of application for shares
may be obtained of the Secretary, Brokers, and Bankers, and
at the Offices of the Company.
Shoild the full number of shares applied for be in excess of
those at the Directors' disposal, the surplus will be credited
to the allotment, or returned at the applicants' option,
