Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD. Ranaway from the Subscriber on Santee, about 3 years ago, his Fellow Ellick, about 38 years of age, yellow complexion, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, well made, a little bow-legged, speaks tolerable good English and can speak the French language, has a scar on the right or left side of his neck and another on the right or left thigh pretty high up. This Fellow, for a part of the above time, has been about Charleston; at this time I unders- tand he is in Beaufort or Savannah, but no doubt he has altered his name--he was very fond of spirits, and is a tolerable good B--ber; he may attempt to pass as a Bricklayer, as he was a la- borer to that business for several years.
