Transcription
RUN AWAY from the Subscriber's Plantation near Willtown, the beginning of April last, a Negro
Man named Strephon, West-India born, about six Feet high, smooth Countenance, down Look,
slouching clumsy Gait, remarkable long flat Feet, and his Legs seem to stand on the Middle of his
Feet, speaks very proper English, and is a Piece of a Carpenter; suspected to be harboured in or
about Charles-Town; and as he has been used to go in a Scooner, may possibly offer himself as a
Freeman to go to Sea on board some outward-bound Vessel. If any Person will apprehend the said
Negro Man, and convey him to me or the Warden of the Work-House, or give information by
whom he is concealed, so as the Person may be convicted, shall be paid 25 Ł and all Charges, by
JAMES STOBO.
