Run away from the subscriber about a fortnight ago, a Negro Man Jack, 5 feet 8 inches, speaks hoarse and was Drummer aboard the Ship Brave-Hawk. Had on when he went away a light-coloured jacket, double breasted, a speckled shirt striped Holland trowsers, new Worsted Cap, an old Felt Hat and Shoes and Stockings. Whoever takes up and secures said negroe, so that his Master may have him again, shall have Forty Shillings Reward, and all Reasonable Charges paid by Joseph Haynes.
