Port-Tobacco,
November 2, 1787.
Twenty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, a few weeks ago, a NEGRO MAN, named BOB, about six feet high, a dark Mulatto, by trade a blacksmith, and is also a rough carpenter; his cloaths are unknown, as he took with him a variety; when he speaks, it is in a loud voice, and very earnest, he has a scar in the palm of his right hand—he had in his possession a written permission, signed by Mr. Walter Pye, to hire himself wherever he chose, and with this and a forged pass, it is likely he will endeavour to make his escape; he was seen at Annapolis during the last races, and went towards Baltimore. Whoever will secure the said Negro Bob, so that we get him again, shall receive the above Reward, on application to Major JOHN SWAN, of Baltimore, ROBERT COUDEN, Esq; of Annapolis, or the subscribers,
J.H.STONE, and CO.
N.B. All masters of vessels are forewarned from taking him on board.
