Carter's feelings as the engineer jams over the levers, opens up the throttle, sets the thudding, whirring donkey winding up the cable, and drags the first log into sight; out from the forest down to the beach; bump, bump! Think what this mastery over huge, heavy logs means to a man who has been used to coax them to tiny movements by patience and a puny jack-screw. . ."* history the story. Carter's and all the others', of dominance, mastery, the bold line of it. soon it will be getting dark, soon... - Page 75
You see fewer goods fit for a bank clerk or man in business ; you leave " high tone " behind you. You come to shops that show faller's axes, swamper's axes — single-bitted, double-bitted; screw jacks and pump jacks, wedges, sledge-hammers, and great seven-foot saws with enormous shark teeth, and huge augers for boring boomsticks, looking like properties from a pantomime workshop. - Page 1
Carter, whom he admires for his "romantic battling with work, with nature, and with the hostility of his fellow-man" along with his "ascetic lack of compromise." 22 Several chapters are given to Carters story. Finally, the narrator is unable to stand Carters driving manners any longer: Work was, for him, a vicious habit, and he seethed with anger all through each day to think how purposeless work had become. Times were too bad! Logs were unsaleable! To work and haul logs into water was to let the... - Page 190
IN British Columbia, you should know, a man could go anywhere on unoccupied Crown lands, put in a corner post, compose a rough description of one square mile of forest measured from that post, and thus secure from the Government exclusive right to the timber on that square mile, subject to the payment of a rent of one hundred and forty dollars a year ("No Chinese or Japanese to be employed in working the timber"). Such a square mile of forest is known as a "timber claim. - Page 34
As you walk down Cordova Street in the city of Vancouver you notice a gradual change in the appearance of the shop windows. The shoe stores, drug stores, clothing stores, phonograph stores cease to bother you with their blinding light. You see fewer goods fit for a bank clerk or man in business ; you leave " high tone - Page 1
... and help throw Mike M'Curdy into the cargo-room, and his blankets after him. Then the Cassiar pulls out amid cheers and shouted messages, and you return up town to make a round of the bars, and you laugh once in a while to find some paralysed passenger whom friends had forgotten to put aboard. . . . And so to bed. The first thing a fellow needs when he hits Vancouver is a clean-up: hair cut, shave, and perhaps a bath. - Page 4
If you take a large scale map of British Columbia you will notice how the three-hundred-mile stretch of Vancouver Island, like a great breakwater, shuts off from ocean a fine strip of sea, and how that sea is all littered with islands. You will see the outline of the mainland coast, from Vancouver north, a jagged outline all dented with inlets and sounds and arms — fiords they call them elsewhere. Try to... - Page 10
Dungaree trousers are shown to be copper-riveted at the places where a man strains them in working. Then there are oilskins and blankets and rough suits of frieze for winter wear, and woollen mitts. Outside the shop windows, on the pavement in the street, there is a change in the people too. You see few women. Men look into the windows; men drift up and down the street ; men lounge in groups upon, the curb. - Page 1
There too was the skookum box — that is, the strong room or lock-up. To it the first mate of the Cassiar is wont to shoot too noisy drunks, pushing them before him, at arm's length, with that fine collar-and-trouserseat grip of his that is so much admired. - Page 13
