SCOW FLYING EAGLE. - Capt. Miner gives notice in the Detroit Free Press, that he has in his possession the scow FLYING EAGLE, having found the same capsized and water-logged in Lake St. Clair, on the 12th. inst., and brought her to that city. The owner or owners will obtain further information by applying to Frank Derasse, a short distance below Smith's Saw Mill, Atwater Street, Detroit. When discovered, she was found to be without a small boat. It is thought that if she had one, the crew must have taken to it, and so escaped. If she had not, the probability is that all on board were drowned.
