She leaves Watkins in the morning, and Geneva at 2.20 p.m. The “Magee” was successfully hauled out at the foot of Castle St. on the 16th inst. and the work of rebuilding her lower works has been commenced under the mechanical supervision of Geo. Codington, the superior ship-builder who made such a fine job in converting the old “Field” into the “Onondaga” The latter is now being upholstered, which constitutes the finishing touches upon her, and she will be put on for regular trips as a morning boat in a few days.
