THE SEVERE STORM IN AUSTRALIA.
A TRAIN IN DIFFICULTIES.
A TUG BREAKS ADRIFT.
Received January 23, 10.29 p.m.
Melbourne, January 23,
Telegraphic communication is greatly disorganised by the storm, which has done much damage, many houses being unroofed in the country.
The Melbourne express met the full force of the gale at one part of the journey to Sydney, and an extra engine had to be attached to enable the train to make headway.
During the height of the gale, the tug Reckless, while being towed to Geolong with two men, women, and several children aboard, broke adrift, and ran on the rocks near Frankston. A scratch crew of fishermen in the face of a heavy sea, and at great risk, rescued the tug people from their perilous position.
