Run away on the 5th of February last, from Stono-Landing, two lusty mustee fellows, carpenters by trade; one named Cyrus, the other Billy, both formerly belonged to col. Mulryne at Port-Royal, and well known there, had on when they went away grey jersey coats. 10 1 reward for each will be given to any person that secures them in the work house, or delivers them to Mr. David Brown ship carpenter in Charles-Town, besides all reasonable charges.
