Parties and Families. The First-class and Intermediate
State-rooms, and Bertha between Decks, are spacious, well
ventilated, and liberally provided with everything which
experience can devise for the comfort of Passengers.
Although so fast a sailer, the RED JACKET has proved herself,
by the general admission of her Passengers, one of the most
easy and pleasant Ships ever sent to sea, going steadily
lihroagh the water in all weathers, without that violent
333 oti o n to which some Vessels are liable when under a large
spread of canvas. In consequence of the numerous applica-

made in rotation as secured
