                   BOSTON, January 17, 1868.

     GENTS—I have with great interest examined your American
  Submerged Ship Pump in full operation. I consider it the best
  Pump I have ever seen, as to the steady and large volume of water
  delivered, its simplicity, and great labor saved, which is the
  desideratum on ship board. No clapper getting off. No packing. No
  drawing of boxes to clear the clapper, and placed below freezing
  point. As to force and head pumps on board ship, it cannot be
  equalled. _It is the pump_. My opinion is based upon
 _over half a century’s_ experience on shipboard.

         Notice to Ship Owners, Agents, Consignees, and Masters

                    =THE COMPANY’S DRY DOCKS=,
      Situate at HUNTER’S POINT, San Francisco, are now completed
      and in successful operation, and afford every facility for
      the Docking and Repair of all classes of STEAM and
      SAILING VESSELS.

                        =THE GRAVING DOCK=,
      Excavated in the solid rock, and finished in the most
      substantial manner, is of the following dimensions: Extreme
      length, 450 feet, length on blocks, 416 feet; width at the
      top, 120 feet; depth, 30 feet; width at entrance, 90 feet.
      At mean high tide will take in a ship drawing 22 feet without
      lightening.

      This Dock is fitted with a Caisson Gate, and is supplied with
      two powerful Centrifugal Steam Pumps, capable of pumping out
      the dock in two hours.

                     =THE FLOATING DRY DOCK=,
      Will receive vessels of 1500 tons measurement and under. The

      successfully. Vessels taken up at all stages of the tide.

      The Company feel warranted in stating that Repairs on Vessels
      can be made as advantageously in San Francisco in respect to
      cost of materials and labor as in any other part of the world.
