John Kelderhouse (Schooner), U13664, dismasted, 19 Sep 1897

Buffalo, September 20. -- The master of the steamer W.H. SAUBER, which arrived here this afternoon reports sighting the schooner JOHN KELDERHOUSE at anchor eight miles above Long Point. The KELDERHOUSE had all her canvas blown away and lost foremast, main and mizzen topmast and jibboom. The schooner was right in the course of vessels. She had a cargo of coal from Erie to Detroit, and did not appear to be leaking. The SAUBER spoke the KELDERHOUSE, but Capt. Hardgrave of the vessel refused to be towed to Buffalo, and asked that a tug be sent to tow the schooner to destination. The tug FABIAN has been sent to her. Smith, Davis & Co., have $5,000 insurance on the KELDERHOUSE, and it is thought McDonald, of Chicago, has the remainder.
