buttons, swanskin double breasted jacket, leather breeches,
a pair of high heel'd thick sol'd shoes:  He can play well
on a flute.  He has a large scar on his upper lip.  Whoever
shall take up the abovesaid runaway, and him safely convey
to his abovesaid master in Boston aforesaid, shall have ten
pound old tenor, reward, and all necessary charges paid. 
And all masters of vessels and others, are hereby caution'd
against concealing, or carrying off said servant on penalty
of the law.
