THE CREW OF THE BRIO HANNAH, OF DUNDEE.
—lnstructions have been received b 7 the authorities at
Quebec to liberate the crew of the brig Hannah, Captain
Soutar (not Lowther, as formerly reported), of Dundee,
who are imprisoned at Quebec on suspicion of having
been guilty of piracy, and the murder of the commander,
in the river St. Laurence, early in July last. Capt. Soutar is
alive and well. It will be remembered that the crew urged
him to take to the boats, therebeing nine feet of water in the
hold at the time, and that he having peremptorily refused to
leave the Hannah, they launched the two boat 4, which
were all the ships possessed, and left the vessel, the cap-
tain being also left without any possible means of escape.
Captain Soutar was subsequently, however, take
Bn offlfast his
waterlogged vessel, by the brig Catherine, of e,
and safely landed at that port, whence he immediately
proceeded to Dundee. The Hannah, although aban-
doned, did not become a wreck. She was fallen in with
by another vessel, and towed up to Quebec, where she
arrived on the 28th of July, very little injured.
