PORTSMOUTH Propeller, ashore at Kelley's Island.
      Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
      Jan. 22, 1862. Casualty List, 1861

      . . . . .

      We learn from S.S. Reed, Esq., agent of the New York & Erie Line; that the
propeller PORTSMOUTH, while on her way to this port on Wednesday morning
last, ran ashore, on the lower end of Kelly's island. The vessel was headed for
Kelly's dock, but it was snowing very hard, shutting out all observation, until the
vessel struck. She lies perfectly easy, and has sustained no damage, and it is
believed, will be got off without difficulty as soon as the water rises. The steamers
NEW YORk and OLEAN are with her, and as the wind has in a measure declined
they will probably get her off today. - Toledo Blade

THE PORTSMOUTH.--- This propeller, that went ashore on Kelly's Island, has been
hauled off without sustaining any injury. - Cleveland Herald
