- Full Text
SCOW MISSING. - The scow FALCON, Capt. Jackson, cleared Sept. 30, from this place for Port Huron. She is said to have actually sailed October 6th, with die clay as part or all of her cargo. It will be remembered on that evening a violent gale sprung up, and it is supposed that the scow was then lost with all hands on board, as nothing has been seen or heard from them since. - Cleveland Herald.
