___ Island (site in New York Harbor) (5)

I believe the answer is:

ellis

(Other definitions for ellis that I've seen before include "Havelock --, English essayist" , "Havelock --, psychologist" , "-- Bell, Bronte pen name" , "- - Peters (novelist)" , "island close to New York" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
