Indeed, I know that his men have been rebellious of late, and this very Jake has been aspiring to the leadership of the gang." "Your feelings regarding these men may be natural," returned the captain, "but my duty is to use you in this matter.
It drew you to the beloved, not with ribbons of silk, but with ropes of tempered steel. It was potent and resistless as death, and infinitely deeper than the grave.
