STORMS AT SEA
RUBRICATE IX BRISTOL CHANNEL. BANFFSHIRE’S NARROW ESCAPE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 1. (Received March 1, at 7.20 p.m.) The Banffshire, bound for Sydney,, encountered a terrific hurricane in the Bristol Channel. During the height of the storm a fire broke out in the forehold, where the cargo included 30 tons of dynamite. The fire was extinguished, and the ship is being docked at Avonmouth. The American liner, President Arthur, arrived at Plymouth 18 hours late owing to having heaved-to in the Atlantic gale in which the wind velocity was 120 miles an hour. The weather caused a remarkable change in the beach at Portland, and fishermen were able to examine for the first time for half a century the remains of the sailing vessel Royal Adelaide, which was wrecked in 1872. There was i h 0-old in the vessel. Many sovereigns c. d Spanish coins dated 1871 were recently recovered.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
