Dr. Neill, than whom there can be no better authority, was himself satisfied, and unequivocally states, that "Thomas Jones, Captain of the MAY-FLOWER, was without doubt the old servant of Lord Warwick in the East Indies."
"Here am I, a son of the law, complaining of the lawlessness of the West fighting it, conquering it and yet at the same time I permit myself to descend to the level of Neill Ballard, to think as the barbaric man thinks." He burned hot with contempt of himself, and his teeth set hard in the resolution to put himself beyond the reach of temptation.
