Messrs Blyth & the reduction of the nominal St. H.P. of the Engines from 50 H.P. as originally designed

you are aware

Messrs Blyth having reduced it below in their plans and the requisition granting the option of so reducing it such reduction was decided upon after full consideration both as affecting economy in first cost and admitting of the requirement

"that Every part may be easily accessible"

being more effectually carried out and I think it is obvious that if 50 H.P. nominal had been put in the same space occupied by the Engines as now the requirement would not have been so well attained.

Messrs Blyth were invited because in 1863 they supplied Machinery for the Colonial Steam Vessel "Victoria" for the Government of Vancouver's Island and on the same principle which Machinery has I understand been in constant use ever since and respecting which no complaint as far as I am aware has ever reached me.

Messrs Blythe are a well known firm of great experience and reputation as Marine Engine makers & the Machinery is of a well known & approved design for small Steamers.
