Quigley was doing whatever he wanted. He more or less ruled Wild Bay. He had set up his own timber-cutting operations with an assistant called Wendell and the Government didn’t do anything about it.

He was the real power behind everything that went on in Wild Bay. Nothing was allowed to happen without his say so. He had acquired lucrative timber licences around Hawkes Bay, Sandwich Bay and probably elsewhere as well. He was making at least $10,000 a year from the Company store. He was a dictator in the place. He ran the operations firstly for himself and secondly, if at all for Jeffrey.

"You have been extremely helpful Eric, I'm sure you have done the right thing in telling me everything you know. If you can think of anything else please do not hesitate to contact me immediately. Here's my card with my telephone number and address."
"Yes; alright I will. Goodbye then."
"Goodbye, you will definitely hear from me again."
