Mr. Wm. SCAR FE, alas DAY,
AGED about 64 years, of a dark complexion, chick
set ; born in Cambridge (Old-England); after an ab
sence of about 18 or 20 years into foreign countries returned
to London in the beginning of March, 177^ ; fat off about
the middle of said month of March, for another voyage, not
known where, but was to be back again in 5 or 6 months—
and took shipping, as is supposed, at Deal, in the county of
Kent, with one M. Sanders, supposed to be a clergyman,
who had accompanied him through part of his voyages :—
As there is room to believe him in some part of America,
should intelligence be gained of the place ne now resides, or
ofhis death, a certificate thereof, and where buried, from
the clergyman of the parish, will be highly necessary : And as
this is of great concern to his friends, if any persons could be
prevailed upon, to make such enquiries as would lead to a
discovery, whether living or dead, or of the laid M. Sanders,
his friends would not only be glad to pay every expence at
tending such trouble, but are desirous of offering some
gratuity,' luitable to that Satisfaction it would afford his
friends, by applying to Colonel WADSV ORTH, in
'dartford.
