Body of William Conery, one
of the crew of the sch. L. J. Clark was found in the mud at
Tredrack's wharf at Portsmouth.. There were some cuts upon his body and a severe gash upon

in falling from the wharf, and is thought that he fell overboard while intoxicated and was
drowned. He was about thirty-three years of age, unmarried, and belonged in Black Hills
