Deserted from the Dickinson armed boat, under my command, on the 4th of June, a certain John Story, Virginia born, about twenty-one years of age, five feet six inches high, thin visage, and swarthy complexion; he has taken the bounty twice and likewise stole some of his comrades clothes. Whoever apprehends said villain, and lodges him in any of the jails in this state, or brings him to me on board said boat now lying at Fort-island, shall have Eight Dollars reward, and reasonable charges.
