9c- To Me good people of hs city of Mobile, and ] 10 whom these presents may come greeting sir. e,i and make it weak:

 For much as Me dangers of Me sea were always excepted in the card of voyage heretofore published and made known, |, Andrew Jackson Hodge, bound Tor Inc harbor and safe port of" Death or Me Cagh- ion Chdir," nothing fearing aud onboard o the high hended and substantial steamer FAfN PLAY made head and bore away for the Mayoraliy of the city of Mobile, and, for much secret pilot on board of sand steamer conederated with the engineers of the same 10 crowd steam, burst boiler or break \ shah, and thereby ruin the underwriters, and, by means whereof the sad steamer did collause ifue, make and stick iasi 10 the mud contra ry to all expectations.

 Now. therefore, know ye, and know it first rate, sr ee' that the said voyage being now utterly and hopelessy broken up, and tue vaIuab cargo great lyendangered l, the said Andrew Jack son Hodge, have hung my flag oi half mast high and other tee- graphs made 10 that fast rolling light draft and stern wheeled steamer Blsnt. McApin. And lhe said steamer having hove to and come alongside is PLAY. So ship ahoy! make my most respectful solicitations, hat in hand, and bid him a prosperous voyage.

 And, sir ee, know ye more especially, was ais cd on hog and homminy, and my skin is thick and very tough. Owing 10 the attack of the worm, my crop of oysters is very short-sir-eei and the few have mean to sell without cohoot with lying JonR But if the steamer will still hold on, and make me partner with him, shall throw down my drag, hang up my tongs, and bear away to Florida in the go- pher trade.

 The other papers in Ihe city will please withdraw my name from the canvass.

 Win great respect, have the honor to be your high headed and most ohedient servant,

 ANDREW JACKSON HODGE.
