Ran-Away,
A NEGRO MAN, named HERCULES, but commonly called
HARK ; he is a native of Maryland, and was brought from
thence some years ago, he is a low, but well set fellow, wears
cotton and homespun linen shirts ; had on a blue sailor’s jacket,
he has a remarkable scar on the back of his right hand,
almost down to his knuckles, resembling the scar of a burn.
It is supposed he will attempt to return to Baltimore by water,
as before he went off he made some enquiries respecting
the vessels that go that way ; it is probable that he may be at
work along the wharves. Any person who will apprehend him
and secure him in the Work-House, shall receive a Reward of
Thirty Dollars.
All Masters of Vessels and others are forbid harboring or
carrying him off the state ; any person found guilty, will be
