Kingston, Nov. 14, 1804.
RAN AWAY, on the 19th of October last, a little mulatto boy,
named BECOOK, about twelve years old, speaks English and
French, has a smiling countenance, short curled hair, his head
flattened in the top, small flat nose, small eyes, he talks a great
deal, and may attempt to pass for free, and have changed his
name: He had on at the time he ran away a short French osnaburgh
frock, worn on both shoulders, and French osnaburgh
pantaloons; and, on his head, a handkerchief with red and white
cross bars; he is well known in this town by selling vegetables.
He was seen in the market with sailors some days after he
ran away, consequently it is supposed that he is on board some
vessel. Whoever will bring him to the subscriber, or lodge hin
in any workhouse, shall receive a Doubloon reward; and a further
reward of Two Doubloons will be given to any person
proving to conviction by whom he is harboured.
PETER BRANDAY.
N. B. Captains of vessels are cautioned not to take him off the
island.
