Kingston, June 18, 1804.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, a Creole Negro Boy named
JOE, calls himself JOE CROSS, by trade a Tailor; he is about
16 years of age, about 5 feet high, round face, rather a smiling
countenance, and yellow complexion: he is supposed to be on
board one of he ships going in the fleet: He is very artful and
will pass himself as a free boy: He has taken with him a few
suits of different cloaths [sic]. This is to caution all Masters of
Vessels from taking the said boy off the island, as the law will
be strictly enforced against them. Any person bringing him to
the subscriber, in East-Street, or lodging him in any gaol or
workhouse, will receive a reward of Five Pounds.
