Liverpool to Melbourne and back 5 months 10 days.
Having circumnavigated the Globe in 62 days 22 hours.
The Accommodations afforded to Passengers on board the
RED JACKET are of the most superior description, com-
prising a very magnificent Poop Cabin and Saloon, with a
spacious House on Deck, eminently adapted for Private
Parties and Families. The First-class and Intermediate
State-rooms, and Berths 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
through the water in all weathers, without that violent
motion to which some Vessels are liable when under a large
spread of canvas. In consequence of the numerous applies-
/lons for Berths in this Ship, the allotment of them will be
made in rotation as secured.—Apply to the Owners, _ ,
