The "Telegraaf" Iron Steam-boat, recently built by Messrs. Fob, Smit, Jun., and Co., Kinderdyk, near Rotterdam, 1858. '...the Telegraaf No. 3...is fitted with oscillating engines, of the collective nominal power of 120 horses, by Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co., engineers, of London...[and is] intended for the accelerated steam communication between Rotterdam and Antwerp...The speed of this steamer places the railway in the background, and in her fittings no Royal yacht can excel her for either beauty or convenience...[She] illustrates the progress of Dutch iron steam-ship building, as well as the quality of London-made engines...According to the testimony of the Belgian pilots, Kirstein van Dongen and A.
