into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per

" GENTLEMEN,—As Captain and Owner of the Marshall
Schooner, I have much pleasure in stating, that Mr. Andrew
Smith's Patent Wire Rope has been used on board my Ves-
sel for Stays, Shrouds, ToMpast Rigging, Jib Guys, Martin-
gale Stays, Bowsprit Shrouds, &c., for upwards of five years,
and in no instance has it failed. On stripping the Foremast
Rigging, after experiencing very severe weather in the North
Seas, and elsewhere, during the above time, I am proud to
say that the Patent Wire Rope was as perfect as the first
day it was made ; and, so confident am I of its advantages
over Hemp Rigging, that I shall not only adopt it in all ves-
sels that I ani connected with, but consider it my duty to
the Patentee, and also my Brother Owners and Commanders,
to recommend it generally for their adoption.
`' I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
" Sincerely your wellwisher,
