Taken up by the subscriber, living in Dorchester County, as
a runaway, a Negro fellow, who calls himself George
Frederick, and says he is a freeman, and that he served his
time with one Capt. Saunders in Bristol; that he was going
up the bay to Sassafras. He was taken in an old boat, about
14 feet keel, with a fore-castle, and appears to have been a
flat built upon. He is a thick fellow, is pock-mark'd, and
has a scar upon his right temple. He has a good many
cloaths (chiefly sailor's) with him, a great coat of a drab
colour, a pair of steel buckles faced with silver, and a
violin. He is now in this county goal. His master may have
him, and the boat, on application, and paying charges.
