Arrival No. 5.  Richard Green, alias Wm. Smith, and his brother George.  These young brothers fled from George Chambers of Baltimore.  The elder brother was twenty-five, the younger twenty-three.  Both were tall and well made and of a chestnut color, and possessed a good degree of natural ability.  When desiring to visit their parents, their request was positively refused by their owner.  Taking offence at this step, both mutually resolved to run away at the earliest opportunity.  Thus in accordance with well premeditated plans, they set out and unobstructedly arrived in Philadelphia.  At first it was simply very pleasant to take them by the hand and welcome them; then to listen for a few moments to their intelligent narration of how they escaped, the motives that prompted them, etc.  But further inquiries soon brought out incidents of the most thrilling and touching nature—­not with regard to hardships which they had personally experienced, but in relation to outrages which had been perpetrated upon their mother.  Such simple facts as were then written are substantially as follows:  Nearly thirty years prior to the escape of Richard and his brother their mother was in very bad health, so much so that physicians regarded her incurable.  Her owner was evidently fully impressed with the belief that instead of being profitable to him, she might be an expense, which he could not possibly obviate, while he retained her as a slave.  Now there was a way to get out of this dilemma.  He could emancipate her and throw the responsibility of her support upon, herself.  Accordingly he drew up papers, called for his wife’s mother to witness them, then formally put them into the hands of the invalid slave woman (Dinah), assuring her at the same time, that she was free—­being fully released as set forth in her papers.  “Take notice I have no more claim on you nor you on me from this time.”  Marvellous liberality!  After working the life out of a woman, in order that he should not have her to bury, he becomes hastily in favor of freedom.  He is, however, justified by the laws of Maryland.  Complaint, therefore, would simply amount to nothing.  In the nature of the case Dinah was now free, but she was not wholly alone in the world.  She had a husband, named Jacob Green, who was owned by Nathan Childs for a term of years only, at the expiration of which time he was to be free.  All lived then in Talbot county, Md.  At the appointed time Jacob’s bondage ended, and he concluded that he might succeed better by moving to Baltimore.  Indeed the health of his wife was so miserable that nothing in his old home seemed to offer any inducement in the way of a livelihood.  So off they moved to Baltimore.  After a time, under careful and kind treatment, the faithful Jacob was greatly encouraged by perceiving that the health of his companion was gradually improving—­signs indicated, that she might yet become a well woman.  The hopes of husband and wife, in this particular, were, in the lapse of time, fully realized.  Dinah was as well as ever, and became the mother of another child—­a little boy.  Everything seemed to be going on happily, and they had no apparent reason to suspect any troubles other than such as might naturally have to be encountered in a state of poverty and toil.
