Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger, who was hailed a hero after piloting the US Airways flight that landed on the Hudson River in January of last year, is retiring. Sullenberger will fly his final flight Wednesday afternoon with his co-pilot during the Hudson landing, First Officer Jeff Skiles.
Hudson, Henry. Resentment among his crew broke into mutiny in the spring when Hudson announced his intention to continue the search. The leaders, Henry Greene, Robert Juet and William Wilson, forced Hudson, his son and 7 others into a shallop and cut it adrift in the open sea. Robert BYLOT piloted the Discovery home. Greene and Wilson were killed by natives at Cape Digges; Juet died of starvation. Four of the 9 survivors were tried for murder but acquitted-saved as much by mercantile interest in their knowledge of the Northwest as by the blame laid on the dead. Nothing is known of Hudson's fate. He did not discover Hudson Strait-both M. FROBISHER and J. DAVIS had noted its entrance-but in navigating its treacherous course he far outdistanced his predecessors and discovered a route to the continent's interior of inestimable value to England.
