Ran away from on board the Scorpion sloop of war,² the following seamen, viz. George Patterson, boatswain, a well set man, about 5 feet 8 inches high, brown complexion, short black hair curl'd round, and snub nose: had on a small round hat bound, a blue jacket and narrow trousers. James Parks, a likely well made man, about 5 feet 7 inches high, brown complex- ion and black hair, with a cock'd hat: had on a long blue jacket and short wide trousers. John Lowry, a stout well made man, with a red face, light hair, about 5 feet 6 inches high: had on an old blue jacket and an old pair of narrow duck trousers. Thomas Davis, a slender made man, about 5 feet 10 inches high, dark complexion, and much pitted with the small-pox, and long black hair: had on, a new felt hat, blue jacket, and new osnabrig trousers. David Rees, a short slender man, about 5 feet 5 inches high, dark complexion, short strait black hair, and has a great impediment in his speech: had on an old hat, blue jacket, and very dirty shirt and trousers. Whoever takes up the said seamen, and secures them in any gaol so that I can get them, shall receive eight dollars reward for each.
