PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.
From the Bermuda Gazette.
" Account of the loss of the ship Penn
sylvania Packet, which founders ' on her
paff%e from London to Philadeh a:
" Mr. Isaac All, master of the , p Penn
sylvania Packet, failed from ' idon the
nth of September last, and proceeded to
Lymington, in Hampshire, where he com
pleted his lading ^rd failed from thence
the 29th of the ame month, bound for
Philadelphia; tin on the 17'A of Nov.
inst. ffie sprung a very dangerous leak,
io that the water increased to such a de
gree, that by the 9th following, nearly
one-half of her cargo (fT) wi s washed
away, and had four feec wa> in the hold ;
that the wind was, and ha 1 on, for se
veral days before, blowing « y hard;
and that in this situation the n er found
no other remedy for the prei vation of
the lives of his crew and himfr f, than to
abandon her, having then in company a
sloop belonging to Rhode-Iflanl, Lewis
, Thomas, master, bound to Hispaniola,
who kindly took him and his company
on board, and with great humanity bro't
them to this island, where they arrived
this afternoon.—Captain All left his ship
in lat - 34, 37; Ic>n g- 67, 15."
On the 2d of October the brig Betty,
Daniel Cameron, maker, from St. Kitts
bound to Cork, with rum, cotton and
sugar, was wrecked on the rocks of Ber
muda. The Captain, crew and molt of
the cargo, were saved.
Fifteen Pounds Reward.
Ran away, on the 4th day of October, 1784, from
the subscriber, living on Deer-Creek, in Harford
county, Maryland, a negro man, named
OLIVE R,
Though commonly called NOL.
HE is a well set fellow, about thirty years of age,
five feet fix inches high, of a good black co
lour, a high round forehead, middling large ears and
mouth, his feet and legs are of the larger size, with
a small fear over and across one of his eye-brows (I
think his right eye-brow) —He is left-handed. Had
on and took with him when he went away, a brown
cloth coat with bright-faced buttons, a white jacket,
white shirt, and some kind of trowfers, shoes and
flockings, with some things in a bundle. He proba
bly will change his name and procure a pass, and en
deavour to pass for a freeman. He once before ran
away, and was taken up in Pennsylvania, by the above
described fear. Whoever takes up said fellow, and
delivers him to his master, or secures him in any gaol,
so that his master may get him again, (hall have the
above reward, paid by
FREEBORN BROWN.
N. B. It is thought there is a yellowifli fellow in
company with him, who is also run away, that has
been used to the water, and that they may attempt
following that profeffion ; and that they will probably
make for Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, New-York or
New-England. All masters of vessels and others are
Forewarned from harbouring or carrying him or
them off. 4w*
