ROUGH WITHER AT SEA.
[press association.] FBEMANTMS, Bth August. Arriving vessels report tempestuous weather in the Great Bight. From Friday to Sunday night the Omrah was battling againßt mountainous seas. At times it was absolutely impossible to make headway. On two days the crew were unable to use the decks, which were cleared of fittings, and the cabins flooded. The steamer Coolgordie took ten days to make the trip from Adelaide. She was severely handled. The Victoria, from Colombo, experienced fierce gales, the decks being continuously swept. Much damage was done to fittings. Two of the crew were injured.
