RUN away from the Subscriber, at nine o'clock this morning, a Negro Boy named JACK, alias Quashey, about fourteen years of age, a likely face and short wool; speaks Creole English. . . . [his dress] He stole, or squandered away, some of his Master's property, for which he expected to be chastised, the cause of his elopement. Whoever will take up said Boy, and bring him to Messrs. Murray, Mumford and Bowen's Store, on the Crane Wharf, shall receive Eight Dollars Reward, and necessary charges, paid by JOHN BLANCH. N. B. As he is a sailor boy, it is expected he will apply to some Captain for a place, and if so, it is hoped they will return him to his Master.
