Saul gets a job in forestry, and is soon assigned to a logging camp in the bush. Saul loves the land, but the men he works with are tough, violent, heavy-drinking, and uncomfortable sharing space with an Indian. Saul keeps his distance, and in response, the men harass him, moving from verbal to physical abuse with no response. Then one day, a man challenges him to a fight. Saul unleashes the cold anger inside himself, and strangles him until he passes out, then punches him in the face as hard as he can. Terrified, the men never bother Saul again. Saul is still running away: running away from stability and running away from himself.
