RUN-AWAY some time ago, from Philip Skeene, Esq; of Skeensborough, a Spanish Negro man named Ned, near six feet high, of a yellow Complexion, about 40 years old.
He was taken a few days ago, on board the City of London, Capt. McFadzean, where he was in the capacity of a cook; since which time he has made his escape, supposed thro’ bad advice, as he has lately been received and slept on board said ship. Yesterday he was seen in town, waiting an opportunity to get on board some vessel. It is therefore requested that no person in this city, or master of vessel will conceal said Negro, as they will answer for the consequence.
A reward of Forty Shillings will be given to any person that will take up said slave, and bring him to his master, at Mrs. Airy’s, or to Capt. Vardill, near Burling’s-Slip.
New-York, October 26, 1776.
