This month from the beginning until the 20th has been very cold, with several severe days; from thence to the end it has greatly moderated. There have been few changes of the wind to the Southward, which has proved extremely distressing to the vessels on the coast, that have, without experiencing much variation had to work to windward loaded with ice; and have then usually found the harbour choked with it. The whole month has afforded good sleighing, and the frequent snows have renewed it advantageously. There is generally less frost in the gound than usual at this season.

He may be known by a scar on his left hand (across tow of his fingers) which occasions two nails to grow on one finger. This is to caution all persons against harbouring the said apprentice, as they will be prosecuted to the utmost rigour of the law. N.B. One shilling reward for his apprehension.
