Run away on Sunday the 3rd day of May last, from Jacobus Bruyne, of Bruynswick, in the county of Ulster and province of New York, a Negroe Man Slave, named Andrew, aged near 40 years, he is of middle Stature, black skin’d, speaks good English and Dutch: had on when he went away, a coarse Linnen jacket and Trowsers, old shoes and stockings, he has been formerly out a Privateering with Capt. Tingley, and it is supposed he may attempt to get on board some Vessel to go out; these are to forewarn all Masters of Vessels carrying him off at their peril. 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 JACOBUS BRUYNE.
