DESERTED from the Safeguard galley,1 Tichelnick Vestial, a native of Minorca, talks English pretty well, and is about five feet one or two inches high. It is supposed he is gone to South Quay, therefore all masters of vessels are forewarned from carrying him away, or employing him. Whoever secures him, so that I get him again, shall have thirty dollars reward.
GEORGE ELLIOTT, Captain
Purdie's Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg), 10 July 1778.
