Richmond (VA) Dispatch, "Another Slave Stampede at Norfolk," June 20, 1855

   ANOTHER SLAVE STAMPEDE AT NORFOLK.––On Saturday night last, says the Norfolk Herald, a party of five negroes undeterred by the recent failure of some other negroes in Norfolk to escape, disappeared. Strong suspicions were entertained that they were on board a Northern schooner which it was supposed, was detained in Hampton Roads by bad weather. Accordingly a strong party of citizens accompanied by two policemen, took boats and started after the vessel, but had not returned at a late hour Monday night. Two of the slaves belonged to Mr. T. Bottimore, one to L. Stosser, one to Messrs. Herman & Co., and one to Dr. Behan. 

   Last week, two slaves escaped from Mr. Seth March, who has gone to the North, to try and reclaim them.
