_Sixteen Dollars Reward_
Ran away, from the subscriber, on Monday evening last, a NEGRO LAD, named
TOWER, about 18 or 19 years of age, 5 feet 3 or 4 inches high, rather
square or heavy in his built, somewhat bow legged, and walks with a
considerable swing, has a full round face and thick lips, talks slow and
not very plain. Had on and took with him, a green broadcloth coat, almost
new, a new striped jacket, with sleeves in the fashion of a sailor's, a
striped crossbarred printed-cotton vest of an olive colour, buckskin
breeches, and striped silk and cotton hose; BUT AS HE IS KNOWN TO HAVE
TAKEN A CONSIDERABLE SUM OF MONEY WITH HIM, it is probable that he may
change his clothes. Whoever brings home said negro, or secures him in gaol,
shall receive the above Reward and all reasonable charges.
It is supposed that he will try to go to Philadelphia; and as he speaks a
little French and is known to have put a striped ribbon round his hat, it
is probable that he will attempt to pass as one who lately came in the
street from Cape François.
N.B. All Masters of vessels and others, are cautioned against taking him at
their peril.
Baltimore, Sept. 19, 1793.
