Captain Williams, of the William and Mary, writes to the * New Zealand’Times ’ respecting the capsizing of his vessel:—“ All went well till about 6 30 a.m., when about thirty miles off Kapiti, in a sudden squall the mainsail was blown completely to ribbons. Immediately unbent the jib, a new sail, and bent it aft in the place of the mainsail, also laced some new canvas in the main rigging, and let down the fore centreboard for the purpose of keeping the vessel’s head to sea, and as well lowered down the foveyard to ease the vessel. Not being able to do anything further for the safety of the vessel, one hand was sent to the pump and the rest went below to put on dry clothing, when about 8.30 a.m,, myself and mate being in the cabin for the same purpose, a heavy sea struck the vessel on the port beam,, and instantly capsized her bottom up. We immediately tore off the lazaret scuttle, pulled out the stone ballast;'and crawled into that place, where the mate and myself had barely room to lie. We remained there until Tuesday afternoon, without food or water, when, finding the water rising, until it nearly reached our mouths, we were compelled to leave that place. My mate started first, and I followed him after a short interval, having t* divethrough the water in the cabin, thence up and under and across the deck, and over the side, and so up to the surface, where, after resting myself fora short while to recover’ breath, while clinging to the main boom, I looked round for my mate, but could not see anything of him, or any of the rest of the crew, and therefore conclude that they must have all perished. After awhile I swam to the stump of the foremast, which was floating some four or five feet above water, and lashed myself to it, and ; remained there the whole night, up and above iny waist in water, and nearly perished with want of food and rest. After gunrise on Wednesday, the 9th, I loosed myself from the mast,swam with great difficulty to the vessel, and, after some desperate struggling, succeeded in getting on to the bottom of her, and crawled aft to the stern, which was the highest yart of Ihe vessel yet awash at times. Here I threw myself down to recover breath and strength, and in about balf-an-hour rose and anxiously searched the horizon for a sail. In about an hour one hove in sight, standing nearly direct for me, and when nearly abreast of mo, about a mile off, to my great jow I saw the ensign run up to the peak. Shortly after she tacked, a boat was sent to me, and I was taken off the wreex and on board the schooner Hannah Barratt, where proper restorative means being employed, I was shortly restored to my usual health.”
