sa Justice to Captain Hannah.

To THE EDITOR:
Dear SiF:-The recent letter to the
Board OF Trade from the people of East
Sound, in regard to the steamer Libby
aud Archipelago mail service, was not
directed against the captain OF ihs boat,
Harvey Hannah. 1 have always consid-
cred thas Captain Hannah is one OF the
nos! competent pilots on this difficult
route, and that with good boat he
would keep regular tim" aud make regu-
lar trips. The letter was written simply
to enter Il complaint against the con-
tractor OF this mail route.
Yours obedienily,
