20 dollars Reward.
RANAWAY on Sunday the 8th instant, a NEGRO man named
AFRICA, about 26 years of age, 6 feet high, of an engaging
countenance and address, wears remarkable large whiskers [il
a de très-grands farfoutins], walks very erect, has the rim of
his left ear entirely off, supposed to be in fighting ; his feet
are remarkably small. He speaks very quick and with much
assurance, is fond of recommending himself, and, considering his condition, is possessed of much intelligence. He is a native
of Richmond (Virginia) and knows no other language than the
English. He is a good rope-maker, and is also expert at almost
any kind of work. He had on when he eloped a mixed cotton
overshirt and pantaloons, and a small old brown hat. The above
reward will be paid to the person who will apprehend and
secure him, and I hereby caution masters of vessels and others
against aiding or assisting him in escaping.
B. Marshall.
