54. There was Claude Wolsey.

Grandfather's Secretary at Natural Resources. He was so loyal that man. Grandfather rated him so highly. He was his right-hand man, from Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England who had a great sense of duty to the British Government. Without him I don't know what grandfather would have done. Especially when he heard that Jeffrey's eldest and favourite son, James Jones was burnt to death in a house fire in Wild Bay early in 1940. Wolsey had a complete nervous breakdown at the time and died not long afterwards in about 1943 I think it was. He was a tremendous loss. Always trustworthy he knew when to keep his mouth shut. He was utterly dependable. He was one of the Directors of the L.D.W.C.Ltd appointed by the British government. Jeffrey's friend, Carruthers was the other.
Wolsey was the very best man to have in that post around the time when that tragedy happened. Wolsey, J. O. Jeffrey, Carruthers and Grandfather somehow or other prevented any genuinely serious police investigation into the deaths of Jeffrey's young son and granddaughter from ever going ahead. How they managed to hush it up between them I'll never know. But hush it up they did. I remember Grandfather telling us one evening after Jeffrey had told him about his son, that the four of them had decided it would be in everybody's best interests if the true cause of their deaths was never known."
Dawson gently gestured to Eric for more detail. "Are you telling me that their deaths weren't accidental? This is very serious. You do realise that don't you Eric?”
"Grandfather said that the deaths of Jeffrey’s son and granddaughter were both arranged by the Company Manager, Kevin Quigley. J. O. Jeffrey had sent his son out to Wild Bay in 1939 to keep an eye on what was going on and to report back to him. It's because of what he found out that he had to be killed.
