A LABOUR SCHOONER IN A HUEBIOANB, The Agnes Donate 1 , a, fore-and-aft schooner of €2 tons. Captain John. Williams, left H ivannah bar. hour. New* Hebrides group, on the 20th ultimo, with fifty-eight Polynesian recruits on hoard, hound lor Fiji. On Jon. 21 the position of the schooner was about forty-fire miles north-east of Eromanga Island. The weather was squally, with a strong wind from oast-south-east. At noon the barometer had fallen to 29.30, with the wind increasing and on unusually high sea running. At four o’clock in the afternoon the glass was down to 29.15. and still falling. The captain then, seeing that he had not yet liad the worstof ft, honsed his topmasts and got both hie boats on deck, and secured tliam' with double lashings, and hove the schooner to under obso-reefed foresail. The barometer kept on falling steadily,', and the wind and sea increasing. At 10 o’clock the Polynesians were ail'sent below and the hatches battened, down. At midnight the barometer had reached 28 70, and was still failing and.the gale increasing. Captain Willlama then furled his close-reefed foresail, and laidto with a sea anchor—i.e.,' a hedge was let go with 30 fathoms of chain on to it. ana a huge block of wood securely fastened to the chain at some distance from the anchor, the object being'to keep the ship’s head to the wind by means of the resistance offered by the block of wood to the water as the ship drifted astern ; hat in spite of the sea-anchor she drifted nearly four knots on hour. At 6 o’clock on the morning of Jan. 22 the storm was at its height. The barometer remained stationary at 28T0. The captain then let go his port bower anchor with 18 fathoms of chain, and gave orders to the crew to stand by to cut away the masts. The scene at this time was inexpressibly grand.. The tempest'howled and roared aloft, ehrieking through the rigging as if glorifying in its awful power over she helpless waif beneath. The schooner, in spite of both her anchors ahead, lay right athwart the sea, which kept rolling .in upon her in turbulent, troubled heaps. She was on her beam ends, lee gunwale under, and the water tip to' the combings of the main hatch. The captain then knocked away a part of the lee bulwarks to let the water escape more easily. For two hours and a-haif the vessel lay this way. At ten o'clock the wind suddenly flew right round to the westward, The barometer began to rise a little, and at 4 o'clock p.m. stood at 28’50. Captain Williams then hove inbis anchors, and ran under a close reefed foresail. By midnight the glass hod risen te 29, so sail was then made, and Lavuka reached safely. The Poly--ownns were under hatches 15 hours.—Fiji Argus, Feh, 6.1 '
