on starting one Of that description, to b.
entitled the "THE WEEKLY PICAYuYE."
To adopt the same iiguralye style use
in our first pros pectus, we have fitted on
the :" PicdgRAen for more distant voyages
and ireighted her with all sorts of notion:
in the shape ofrcadabies; and il the same
7 success attends her which she has me

extended sea on which she is destined &c
move, we have put on her many additions
and Improvements. Some OF her old tim.
ners have been taken out and replaced by
