The Ship Duncan, of 00 . tons burthen, which
was lately launched at Beypoor, the first English
Ship ever built on that side of India, from teak tim-
ber, entirely the produce of the Company's territo-
ries. Not only the timber of this, Ship, but.tho
principal part of the iron, pitch, and tar, used in_
her constru&ion, are the native produce of .Mafabar.
The tar was extra4ted from the chips and saw-dust
from the Vessel herself, aod the teak tar is allowed
to be equal, it not superior, to the tar imported from
Norway. Should this experiment answer the gene-
ral expcaation, it is presumed that Malabar will at
Jeast be capable of, suppl;ing the wants of the Royal
Davy on, the fast India station.
