dford only during the voyage. The fact that
he speaks of him as a "man" also indicates something as to his age,
and renders it certain that he was not an "indentured" lad. It is
fair to presume he was a passenger on the SPEEDWELL to Southampton.
(It is probable that Carver's "servant-boy," William Latham, and
Jasper More, his "bound-boy," were obtained in England, as more
fully appears.)

Master William Bradford and his wife were certainly of the party in the
SPEEDWELL, as shown by his own recorded account of the embarkation.
(Bradford's "Historie," etc.)

Master Edward Winslow's very full (published) account of the embarkation
("Hypocrisie Unmasked," pp. 10-13, etc.) makes it certain that
himself and family were SPEEDWELL passengers.

George Soule, who seems to have been a sort of "upper servant" or
"steward," it is not certain was with Winslow in Holland, though it
is probable.

Elias Story, his "under-servant," was probably also with him in Holland,
though not surely so. Both servants might possibly have been
procured from London or at Southampton, but probably sailed from
Delfshaven with Winslow in the SPEEDWELL.

Elder William Brewster and his family, his wife and two boys, were
passengers on the SPEEDWELL, beyond reasonable doubt. He was, in
fact, the ranking man of the Leyden brethren till they reached
Southampton and the respective ships' "governors" were chosen. The
Church to that point was dominant. (The Elder's two "bound-boys,"
being from London, do not appear as SPEEDWELL passengers.) There is,
on careful study, no warrant to be found for the remarkable
statements of Goodwin ("Pilgrim Republic," p. 33), that, during the
hunt for Brewster in Holland in 1619, by the emissaries of James I.
of England (in the endeavor to apprehend and punish him for printing
and publishing certain religious works alleged to be seditious),
"William Brewster was in London . . . and there he remained until
the sailing of the MAYFLOWER, which he helped to fit out;" and that
during that time "he visited Scrooby." That he had no hand whatever
in fitting out the MAYFLOWER is certain, and the Scrooby statement
equally lacks foundation. Professor Arber, who is certainly a
better authority upon the "hidden press" of the Separatists in
Holland, and the official corr
