STORMY WEATHER.
A VESSEL IN PERIL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, Tan. 3. The barque E. R. Stirling, anchored in Sydney Harbor, narrowly escaped being driven ashore in Athol Bight. During the height of the storm the vessel dragged her anchors, necessitating the captain seeking the assistance of two tug boats which held the ship after a couple of hours struggling. The hurricane continued throughout the night, and the coast-line was swept by wind howling along a mile a minute "while mountains of seas were crashing on the beaches. The river bars were reported dangerous, and vessels were unable to enter or leave. There are signs of the weather breaking this morning, though a continuance of bad weather is forecasted. Later. The storm abated, but it is still rainng and the sea is heavy.—Reuter.
