SHIPPING HELD UP.
NEWS OF COLLIER AWAITED.
(Received 10.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Strong easterly gales and rough seas round the coast of Victoria end New South Wales, and in Bass Strait disorganised shipping during the week-end. Small vessels were forced to seek shelter, and the turbine steamer Loongana was nine hours late on her trip from Launceston, Tasmania, to Melbourne. The collier Wear was reported on Saturday afternoon to be sheltering in Oberon Bay, since when the owners have received no word of her. Small craft in the harbour were swamped.
