Another obscure Manly vessel. What is known is that in 1859 she was operating the Manly route in tandem with the Phantom.

At some stage she was owned by Messrs Mitchell and Company of Sydney. As was usual at this time, she operated as a tug and ferry, taking up whatever work she could find.

She was sold to China in 1862
