We'll work right round the brûlée, Vane decided.

Then I suppose we'd better head back for Vancouver, though we'll look at that cedar as we go down. Something might be made of it--I'm not sure we've thrown our time away.

There's a good mill site on the inlet, but as it's a long way from the railroad we'll have to determine whether it would be cheaper to tow the logs down or split them up on the spot. I'll talk it over with Drayton; he'll no doubt be useful, and there's no reason why he shouldn't earn his share.

Do you consider that the arrangement you made with Hartley applies to the cedar?

Of course. I don't know that the other parties could insist on the original terms--we can discuss that later; but, though it may be modified, the arrangement stands.
