Press Association. Electric Telegraph, Copyright.
Sydney, April 1. The schooner Hawaiian Isles, just arrived at Newcastle, encountered a violent hurricane 35 miles west of Wilson's Promontory. There were no indications of the approach of the tempest, which was the most violent and sudden ever felt on the Australian coast. The ship had a whole suit of sails blown away.
A tidal wave or waterspout 50ft high was observed, but the vessel got clear of its effects.
