Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Runaway Slave. RANAWAY from the Subscriber about ten days ago, a young negro named LOUIS CHARLES aged 18 or 20 years, having very large teeth, and in the habit of keeping his mouth open.— He had on when he absconded, a shirt of coarse linnen and a pair of pantaloons of Russia spotted with tar. He was seen a few days since in a canoe with another negro ; said boy is well known along the coast, where he used to sell goods, in company with some negro wenches also belonging to the subscriber.
