STORM AT SEA.
(BY TELEGRAPH.— I'll ESS ASSOCIATION.) Chuistchuhoh, Monday. The barque Otago has arrived at Lyttletou. .She left Sydney on August 13th, bound for Loudon, with a cargo of copper, tallow, wool, etc. When in longtitude of the Snares she met a fearful gale, and was thrown on her beam ends, the terrific seas made a complete breach over her and the wails were blown away with everything movable, including the ship's paper, charts, log, and captain's instruments. All this latter damage was effected by ono enormous wave, which was followed by several others. The ship carpenter, while engaged in repairs was hurled against the locker and killed, and another seaman was washed overboard. The rudder was carried away, and water found its way into the lazarette and hold. The pumps were kept going night and day, and a jury rudder was liggod up. The captain steered a course by dead reckoning to Lyttleton.
