and were made by Dunsmuir and Jackson in 1800. Her indicated. horse-power is 2,000 and the work- ing pressure of her boilers is 160 Jbs. The steamer is also equipped/ 'with a donkey boiler, and is fitted with electric light all over,
The Kasara was at one time of the "ash" ships of the British India Company being engaged in the tride between Bombay and the Persian Gulf. At that time, she was fitted with double awnings, which extended over the full length of the vessel. The steamer was then manned by a crew of 87 men, and, small as she is, carried a master, four officers, and four engineers, all Britishers, two sarangs, four tindals, etc.
After Captain Nicoll bought the vessel she first made a few trips between Bushire, in the Persian Gulf, and China, but has for the last four or five years been em- ployed on the coast-wise run, seldom going further south than Touraine, and never further north than Foochow.
