Notice to Capt. Chamberlain on Seized Negroes and Pirates
A broadside warns Captain Chamberlain to surrender detained enslaved Africans and other captives taken from the North Side, threatens pirates for resisting, and calls for expulsion of rogues from Port. It mentions various towns, then shifts to reports of mines, executions, deaths, wealth, and notices from London and Jamaica with multiple names and places.
