She is 331 feet long and hary fect of beam, her foremast being 30 feet long, and the aft mast 17 feet. She has a house on deck capable of comfortably seating 16 persons at dinner, and is specially adapted for shooting parties, being capable of finishing sleeping at commodation for eight people. Her flag is a five-pointed star, and her name, we believe, is the Harris. She was built to the order of a trio of Hongkong residents by an enterprising native boat builder at Kowloon, and cost, we hear, somewhere about $300.
