A HARD TIME.
The Stormy Voyage of the Robert
Byron.

The schooner Robert Byron, which left
this port December 20 ON a trading trip to
the Cape de Verde islands, and which was
given up for lost both by the owners and the
families and friends of her crew, has reached
her destination after a remarkably long and
hard voyage. Capt. Carmen writes that on
the 21st, when one day out, the wind was
NNW, and the weather threatening. AT
800 p. IN. the mainsail and jb were furled
and the foresail close reefed. AT O'Clock
in the evening the wind came heavy from
the WNW. accompanied by sleet, hail and
snow. AT half past one on the morning of
the 22d the schooner reached the Gulf
Stream.
All was going well, the vessel running
splendidly, when suddenly a great wall of
water came rolling down upon the Byron's
weather quarter. The huge billow lowered
above the heavy seas raised by the binding
storm and threatened to engulf the little
vessel. But the rapidly moving schooner
seemed to slip from under the mass of water,
the great wave appearing to be only about
100 feet in length. The Byron was struck
near the davits, the water surging over them
which in an instant was left dangling over
the schooners stern. Had it struck eight
feet farther forward, the Byron would have
been lost, while the captain, who was at the
wheel himself, would have been carried
away by it. A moment after the wave struck
there was not a cloud in the heavens except
the black bank astern out of which the
Byron had just made her way, and the sea
was regular and heavy. The Byron was
then in imminent danger from the piece OF
the main boom which foated astern, and
which was likely to stave hole in her at
any moment With great difficulty the spar
was got on board and labhed to the deck.
The Byron was 400 miles from Portland,
and in her crippled condition it was thought
best to keep on the voyage, trusting to the
usual favoring Winds rather than to attempt
to return home in the midst of the rough
winter weather. Misfortunes came thick
and fast, however, and one heavy gale was
followed by another. The foresail was lost,
and the jib stay and one or two shrouds
broken. At last, after weathering the sue
cession of easterly gales, which had retarded
her passage and threatened her destruction,
the schooner sixty days after sailing reached
her destination.
Capt Carmen writes that the Byron is
splendid sea vessel. Had she not been, she
must have been lost in the heavy weather.
A vessel from Savannah arrived at st. Vim
cent at about the same time as the Byron,
after having been 95 days on the passage,
which usually takes about 30 days.
