Lewis Hutchinson - Capture

Capture

Hutchinson's reputation for debauchery made him notable as many would avoid him out of fear. His slaves' tales of terrible treatment and the gruesome details of the murders made him legendary. This is why he was allowed to roam free for a time, until he shot an English soldier by the name of John Callendar, who attempted to apprehend Hutchison. After Hutchinson shot Callendar, he bolted south to Old Harbour and boarded a ship. The Royal Navy, commanded by Admiral Rodney, caught Hutchinson before he could escape.

Famous quotes containing the word capture:

    This is no rune nor symbol,
    what I mean is it is so simple
    yet no trick of the pen or brush
    could capture that impression;
    what I wanted to indicate was
    a new phase, a new distinction of colour.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    To capture robbers, first capture their leader.
    Chinese proverb.

    No place is so strongly fortified that money could not capture it.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
