dently unintentional niistakeinto which the writer of

pear that the. party was complete, and that the

not be complied with. Will you permit u 3 to re-
quest,: therefore, that you will insert this correction
of tile, erroneous impression likely to result from
tbsappearance of the paragraph, as there are still
soine six or eight berths vacant, for which we shall
be happy to arrange with any one desirous of join-
ing the party. The date of departure will be the
