A STORMY VOYAGE.—ACCIDENTS AT SEA.
fBY TELEGRAP fl. — PRESS ASSOCIATION. ] Poet Chalmers, Sunday. The barquentine Jasper, Captain Stannard, has arrived, 38 days from Mauritius, with a cargo of sugar and aloe fibre. On November 4 she encountered a fearful hurricane from the S.W., which blew several sails to pieoes and did other damage. A sea broke on board, hurling Captain Stannard across tho deck againßt the starboard bulwarks, and seriously bruisiDg his left leg, from the effects of which he has not yet recovered. At nine a,ra. of the sth another sea broke on board, and washed Mr. Houghton, the mate, overboard. The ship was brought to the wind, and every effort made to save him, but without, avail. So violent was the storm that fears were entertained that the vessel would founder. Oil-bags were put out to windward, and proved of great assistance, and the ship ran under the lee of St. Paul's Island for shelter.
