Deserted from the Provincial armed galley Congress, David Denton, about twenty years of age, five feet five inches high, wears his own loose black hair, swarthy complexion, inlisted by the subscriber at Cohanzie bridge, and thought to be born in New-Jersey. Had on, when he went away, a brown long skirted jacket, a pair of brown cloth trousers, and round greasy hat. Whoever apprehends and delivers said deserter on board any of the Provincial gallies in the river Delaware, or the workhouse or jail in Philadelphia, shall have the above reward.
