Poor Man's Rook Chapter The Howse at Squitty Island
In 1918 during a cold misty dawn, Jack MacRae returns to Squitty Island's Cradle Bay area near Point Old. He witnesses a luxury cruiser docking, meets Horace Gower's daughter, and reflects on his return from overseas. The narrative then introduces Squitty Cove, Poor Man's Rock, and the local salmon trolling culture, contrasting rowboat trolls with power-boat fleets and the harsh, devoted lives of local fishermen.
