SEA-WoRTHINEss OF THE CENTRAL AME-
RIcA.-An engineer communicates the fol-
lowing to the New York Evening Post:
Your article in relation to the sea- WORTH
ness of the Central America, alias Geo. Law,
is entirely correct. Having made two trips
in her from New York, think my opinion
of the steamer is sustained, and will be by
all parties who have had the misfortune to
travel in her, and that she went under the
name of the Old Tub among all sea-faring
men who ever made trip in her, so much
SC. that parties going out to California we're
afraid to go in her, and her owners changed
her name to Central America, so that min
ers would not know it was the George Law
till on board. The less the owners of the
Law say in regard to her sea-worthiness the
better, both in reference to the Law, and
also the Illinois, the other boat on the line
and if there is an investigation in relation to
the disaster, am prepared to show she
should have been condemned year ago,
and also that the Illinois is not in condi-
ton now to run.
