the Brazos river during the seaeon. This boat has
been thoroughly repaired and is now a stronger
boat than she ever was, having been examined by
the Inspectojs appointed by law for that purpose,
and obtained their certificates that she is in fine
order. We offer her in that trade, to remain in it
as long as she is worthy to be insured upon
Having obtained the services of Mr. Jas. AYinters

enough in the river to float her, that she will not
lie still, and that every effort will be made to do
