St. Thomas in the Vale,
April 13, 1804.
FIFTY POUNDS REWARD.
ABSENTED, on Sunday night, the 8th instant, from Golden-
River Plantation, an elderly Mulatto Woman named BELLA,
alias ARABELLA JERVIS; also her Mulatto Daughter named
SUKEY, alias SUSANNAH CURTIS: The former is pitted
much with the small-pox; has long black hair; she has a long
scar on one of her thighs, occasioned from the tusks of a boar;
her manner of speaking is pleasing, having a smile on her countenance:
The latter, Sukey, is very stout made, rather sulky from
the first appearance, has a broad face, thick lips, and full short
nose, has also a dent on one of her legs by some broken glass
bottles; she is nearly gone four Months with child. A reward of
Twenty-Five Pounds will be paid to any person who will deliver them to the subscriber, or lodge them in any workhouse;
and a further reward of Twenty-One Pounds will be paid on
conviction of the party by whom they are harboured, if a white
person; of Fifteen Pounds if by a negro or person of colour.
Masters of vessels are warned against employing them or
carrying them off the island, as the penalties of the law, which
are very severe, will be enforced against them.
It is strongly suspected thatr a white man, of specious plausibility,
lately discharged by the subscriber, has enticed those poor
people with a view of carrying them to America: His dialect is
canting broad Scotch.
GAVEN WAUGH.
