Landing on the New-York Side is fixed at the Dock com- monly called Mesier's Dock; and as Powles's Hook, is situated nearly opposite to the said Dock, the Distance be- tween the two Places being about three Quarters of a Mile, and as the Boats may pass and repass, at all Times of the Tide, with almost equal Dispatch; it is thought by far the most convenient Place for a Ferry, of any yet es- tablished, or that can be established, from the Province of New-Jersey, to the City of New-York; and what will give it the Preference by far, of all the other Ferries, in the Winter Season, is that rarely a Day happens, but the Boats may pass at this Ferry, without being obstructed or endangered by Ice. Constant Attendance is given at Powles's Hook, by Michael Cornelisse, where the best of Stabling and Pasture is provided for Horses.
