The ship Phasis, which arrived from Calcutta on Sunday evening, t roucht part of the crew of the Dutch ship Alblasserwaard which was abandoned by bet orawin 8L east 37i south, on Nov. 28, being oq fire. The Alblasserwaard was a wooden ship of 1256 tons, six 3 ears old, belonging to Alblafserdem* Holland, owned by H. Von Lindern of that place, commanded by Captain Q. Schultz. She was on a voyage from shields to Batavia with coale. The names of the officers were—D. Pauls, chief officer; B D. de Brenk, second; and T. Visser, third. She had, besides master and officers, a erew of 19 all told. The ship loft Shields on August 8. and all went well until 80 east was reached on the night of Nov. 25, on the morning -of which day Am-terdam Island was passed. Gas was then smelt rising from the main and after hatches. It was deemed imprudent to open the batches at night and go below with lights, so daybreak cf Nov. 57 was awaited, and at 3 a.m. the crow went below and commenced heaving coal overboard, the amoko and gas increasing the whole time. The crav worked until nightfall, and then had to give up, resuming work at daylight next morning, Nov. 28, when the fire was found to be rapidly increasing. The hands were kept at work nuril 10 a m. that day, -»heu the smoke and heat became so great that they were compelled to give up work. In the aftarnoon all hands went aft and asked the captain to get the boats out, as they did not consider it safe to stopon the ship through the night. The boats were got over the f side end provisioned with bi-cuit and water, and were then allowed to drift astern, the ship towing them, three bonds being in each to look after them. The captsin saw no good to be gained by stopping on tb» wesel, and oo all bauds took to the boats. The inaU 1 , third m>te, carpenter, steward and seven of ibe-eamen took to one boat, and the captain, second mate, sail maker, ceok and eight of the ctew oo the other. The ship was left before sunset on N 07.28, in 81 east 37J south, with just the lower t psmlaet. About half an hour after the boats left tie ship, the firo broke out of all the hatches and almost instantly the whole ship was enveloped in flames. A heavy sea was running, with the wind strong from the north-west, when the ship was abandoned, and the boat was steered east, the captain having chronometer, &c., aboard. The wind blew hard during that night, and several seas broke aboard, spoiling the biscuit, and making those in the boat very uncomfortable. Nothing was seen of the mate’s boat after nightfall. The wii d increased during next day, and a sea anchor was got out to keep the boat bead to the sea. At nightfall, however, on Nov. 29, the wind moderated, and the boat shaped a course of north-east by east so as to make the tracks of vessels bound for the Colonies. Moderate weather succeeded, bat the crew suffered considerable privations from want of food, &a. On Dec. 4, in 29.80 south 87 east, the •hip Phasis was sighted, and at 5 p.m the boat was picked up. Captain Brown, of the Phasis, his officers and crow were most kind and attentive to the shipwrecked seamen they had picked np, and did everything they possibly could to alleviite their sufferings and contribute to their comfort, and tbe men wish most heartily to thank them for the kindness shown them. The boat travelled over -600 miles after leaving the vessel. Tbe master saved his chronometer, sextant and papers, but beyond this nothing was saved by anyone, clothes and effects of all kinds being lost, as there was no room in the boats for them.
