New Freight Boats
FOR SALE.

We take pleasure III recommending
our boats, as their construction Is ihc
result of years of study and labor in
building, and handling boats around
our various island landings. We claim
these boats TO be superior for jslan use
TO others, (either built here OF imported)
in scverl essential points, and we are
supper elin this opinion by those who
have uscdthem, as well as by others who
are qualified to Judge. They are built for
use and durability, and not with the
view of having the benefit of future re-
pairs. We use no cross grained and
useless Monkey Pod knees, timbers, or
floors. nor straight wood stems Our
frames are all o X bent across without
Joint on the keel, and of Il size, larger
than usual i'm other boats, they are also
CLOSER together, and double rivited to
the keel, with additional floors between.
We have applied both strain and blows
to these steam bent timbers and find
that they are equivalent to the so called
solid floors of twice the size, and are
consequently less liable to be severely
bilgcd, and are easier repaired when it
occurs. The glInwalcs are of Oak, and
with the outside planking are invariably
in one plank from steru to stem. The
hoisting strap does not go through the
but toggled under screw-bolt fastened
dead wood, and hinged above so rs to
accommodate the span of hoist. The
timbers are not cut away for water runs,
our limbers are in the keel. We have
also solid wide iron plate on the keel
and stems of the boat which have secur-
ed for these boats their well deserved
reputation for superior build The
model also compares favorably with
our best imported boat, carrying
their width on the thwart and
not on the gunwale as crank boats do,
taking all the chafe and pounding
against vessels and wharf, when dis
charging. Our bent Oak knees also
| and most experienced association known
who for 40 years have spared neither
time nor money to procura the best surf
and life boats, wherever found. During
| the test of 1881, fleXibility in boats, was
| found to be most essential. The rela ion
| these knees bear to the jointless section
| timbers and to the boat herself when Sc
| verely struck, TO prevent damaging
| conclusion or any damage, can be read
lily seen. This quality cannot be found
in boats stiily held in one place, and
| loose in another. Several naval Cap
| tains and Officers who have inspected
| this system pronounce it Il great i'm
| provement over the old. as Il preventive
from being stove in or bilged alongside
| when being lowered at sea, as many
have been known to do the short floors
and timber ends lifting from the keel.
| An other improvement. is that we sell
| these boats for $50 less than was form
| erly paid for this size boat here, and
it pays the builder and buyer better.

boats, price $3.50 to $3.50.

sloop "Reform'' all complete for pleas
ure or fishing, with hooks, lines, water
kegs. oars and rowlocks, anchor and
chains, extra sails, an oil stove, and a
| little fiat boat, that can bt carried on
deck. This is a speedy little craft, and
works second to none in our waters.
She was built for pleasure with safety,
to sail on her bottom, without packing
around tons of ballast. Can be rugged
and sail made in 10 minutes, and unrig-
ged in five. Price $275.
We are also prepared to give plans
and estimates of all kinds of scows,
rowing surf or sail boats, steam laun-
ches, or schooners, in solid, bent frame,
or diagonal building. Our experience
in the latter mode dates from 1854. when
the celebrated yachts "FoX'' and others
were built in that way, this vessel was
severely tried in the Arctic for 3 years
under Sir j. McClintock, when in
search of Sir John Franklin. This mode
of building is highly recommended
where inside finish and capacity is an
object. We invite inspection of our
boats at the Enterprise Planning Mill,
where samples may be found.
