After Fustain- ing the usual hardships which ever at:end a Colorabian prisoner in st.e hands of Morales, he sought to escape from thein by flight, and rwith this view he concerted with tWo Creole youths of his own age. to Feize a boat, and escape to Curacoa on a certain nighL In the set of executing this bold but rash project, the lads -were discovered seized. and taken before t3etmeral Mrlorales.
