A SEVERE GALE.

FIVE COASTING VESSELS ASHORE,

Sydney, June 9,

(Received June 10, at 0 55 a m.)

A terrific easterly gale is blowing and a fearful sea is running along the coast. I'ive coasters have been driven ashore — the schooner Bertha, ketches Sea Nympb, Georgina Davis, and Jessie Sinclair at Trial Bay, and the schooner Venus at Bellinger Heads. The crew of the Venus were seen olinging to the ratlines of the wrecked vessel, and the pilot crew gallantly put off from the shore in an endeavour to effect their rescue. They were unable, however, to reach the vessel, and returned to the beach. Shortly afterwards they made a second attempt to get alongside the schooner. A telegram received from Bellinger Heads late this evening states that the crew of the Venus have been brought ashore in safety. It is not known whether the rescue was due to the second essay of the pilot beat proving successful.

No definite information is yet to hand regarding the crews of the other vessels, but from the nature of Trial Bay it is anticipated that the men have escaped with their lives. Cabin fittings which have been identified as those belonging to the steamer Taramung have been washed ashore.

—A curious incident is reported from Vienna. A young and beautiful lady, who was an enthusiastic singing student, deliberately burned her face with vitriol, in order, as she said, that she might "live solely for art."
