The Escape of the Notorious Sir William Heans

The Escape of the Notorious Sir William Heans by William Gosse Hay is about the experiences of prisoner Sir William Heans in Tasmania and his escape from imprisonment. Excerpt: «When Sir William Heans first reached Hobarton, Tasmania, he was placed in the Government Architect's office on the strength of having erected additions to the family home in Ireland. Thus he spent a good deal of time designing penitentiaries, riding, reporting himself at the prison, „punting,“ and visiting among a few friends to whom he had brought letters.»
