British Whig (Kingston, ON), Oct. 23, 1882

p.2 Portsmouth Points - The dredge is operating in the harbour, but some think the work is not being done in a satisfactory manner. "I wouldn't give $20," said one of the villagers, "for what good she is doing. If the Government had given the Council the $2,000 annually they could have expended it to better advantage." Another gentleman says the work is being well done, that the dredge is widening the channel deepened in the spring and making it fit for the accommodation of any vessel that can pass through the Welland Canal.

p.3 No Sale Yet - $350 offered for 1/4 share in schr. Pinafore.

Marine Disasters Reported - There were reports along the wharves this morning of several marine disasters - (1) that a schooner went ashore near the Upper Gap, in the Bay, and lost her foremast. (2) that a schooner is high and dry near the Narrows, down the river. The reported accident to the sloop Lorraine is an error - the craft is loading rye in the canal. The others cannot be verified.
