from the subscriber, living in the borough of Chester, in
the beginning of August last, a mulattoe man, named Jack
Jones, upwards of 24 years of age, a cooper by trade, about
5 feet 7 inches high, wears his hair tied in a cue behind,
has a hobbling gait when he walks, occasioned by the
rheumatism formerly in his hips, this country born, speaks
good English, can read, and write a tolerable hand, and can
play pretty well on a fife, is a sly, smooth tongued fellow,
and may probably forge a pass, and pretend to be a freeman;
he went on board the Providence privateer, commanded by
Captain Jones, when she lay opposite to Chester, outward
bound on her cruize, . . . [11 lines, whereabouts, terms,
