STORMS IN TASMAN.
AUSTRALIAN COASTS SWEPT. MOST UNSEASONABLE WEATHER. United Press Association—By Electrlo TelegrapH —Copyright (Received December 29, 9.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, December 29. Stormy unseasonable weather, which spoiled the Christmas holidays in Victoria, and also damaged crops and orchards, is now centred over New South Wales. The whole coast line is being swept by gales and driving rains, which began on Saturday night and show no sign of abatement. Shipping from the north battled grimly into port to-day, hours behind time. Holiday resorts are deserted. Skiffs were sunk at their moorings, and heavy seas are raging. Untold misery is being experienced by the die-hard campers along the beaches. The weather authorities say that gales, with mountainous seas will prevail over the west and southwest sections of the Tasman Sea.
