RAN AWAY from the schooner Kitty, Captain
. John Bryan, on Saturday the 15th of April last,
a Negro Man named WAI T, about 5 feet 9 or 10
inches high ; he is a likely straight well made fellow,
remarkably black, and has a bold daring countenance:
He formerly belonged to the estate of the deceased
Mr. George Maxwell, and was then under the ma
nagement of Mr. Samuel Nicholls, of whom I bought
him; he is an artful, cunning, plausible villain, and
will make use of every specious and fair tale to in
duce belief of his being a freeman ; he is rather thin
vifagecl, and perhaps one of the blacked Negroes in
the world. I can't well describe the apparel he run
offin, he had a blue jacket and breeches of coarse
French cloth, °fhoes, flockings and a hat, all of which
he took with him : He run off from the schooner
while she lay at Wells's ware-house, and a few days
after his going off, he was seen in the neighbourhood
of Mr. Isaac Spencer, in Kent county. The rascal
made an untimely effort to get on board the British
fleet when they were up Chefapeak Bay; I am in
duced to believe that he has the like object in view,
and that the villain has either made for the Delaware
Bay or the Jerfies, or that he designs it. I will give
Seventy-five Pounds for securing him, if taken in this
state; if taben out of it, the above reward, and
reasonable charges if brought home.
