sensation in that country, among merchants, ship
builders, nautical men, and the public generally,
as The Atlantic did short tins previously, and
was much admired for the beauty and perfect ion
OF her model, the power aud spendor of her
gines and machinery, "a well as for her unei lallet
ard magnificent accommodations for travellers.
The gsrgeousness OF her furniture aud interior
decorations is dwet upon at great length by some
of The English journals, while by scientific men
her model is pronounced iduItless.
