New York, May 23, 1747 Made his escape from on board the Privateer Brig, Pollux, on the 20th inst, a Mulatto man named Storde, a Bermudian Born, aged about 23 years, pretty tall and pock broken, but not very much, but pretty large pits in his face, pretty fair, with his Head commonly shaved in order to make himself pass for a white man, by trade a carpenter; the cloathes he used to wear before he left the vessel, was a check’d shirt, a striped Flannel Jacket, a pair of Oznabrig trousers, a red and white worsted cap, and some other cloathes, but can’t say what they were and believe, that he carried with him both shoes and stockings, with a large pair of silver shoe buckles and a silver stock buckle and also a pair of Gold Sleeve buttons, when in Bermuda, which without doubt he had with him, and which, ’tis thought he will offer to sell. It is very likely that he may be well dress’d as he had good cloath when he left Bermuda. The above mentioned Buckles and Buttons given him by his Master Mr. Thomas Hunt of Bermuda. Whoever takes up the said Mullatto slave and delivers him to Mr. Daniel Stiles at Captain John Waldron’s at New York or to Mr. Philip Wilkinson, merchant at New-Port, Rhode Island, shall have ten pounds, as a reward and all reasonable charges paid by either. Daniel Stiles or Philip Wilkinson.
