Description

In the cool twilight of British Columbia’s coastal forests, two canoeists glide through a green‑streaked inlet, their paddles striking a calm rhythm against water scented with fir. Vane, a sturdy twenty‑seven‑year‑old with a weathered hat and a quick temper, shares the craft with his more refined companion, Carroll, whose gray eyes watch the drift‑wood fringe and the distant sloop. The scene is painted with towering cedars, reddish bark and scattered frame houses, giving listeners a vivid taste of the rugged, yet beautiful, timberlands that shape their lives.

The pair have just secured a promising mineral claim after months of hard labor, out‑witting city financiers with Vane’s stubborn ingenuity. As they near the wharf, Vane breaks into an old song about a distant homeland, hinting at a lingering love that still haunts him. Their conversation suggests unspoken hopes and the restless spirit that drives them deeper into the wilderness.
