We DO not wish TO give an uncertain
sound by accidental blowing, but we are
credibly informed, that Captain George
E. Mcgee and others, will build a steam
and sail barge, of the following dimen-
sions: Length SO feet, Breadth of beam
233 feet, depth of hold 6 feet. Captain
Mcgee now has men in the woods cutting
the frame, and the work in the yard will
begin at and early day. The vessel will
be built at Sculps landing, or, as Capt
scull calls the knoll "Mount Ararat."
Capt Scull is having the premises cleared
of the accumulation of debris, of many
months, in order to give room for the
lumber. The mold loft of G G. Davidson
was cleaned out last week, and all other
preparations are being made to lay the
keel.
G. G. Davidson and others, are putting
new stanchions, gunwales, and otherwise
repairing the upper works Of the schooner
William j. Simpson at the Mount Ararat
docks.
