Le maître-flotteur sait les hommes de la rivière hostiles à la besogne du débusquement. Demandez-leur de lancer leurs barges au-dessus des rapides, demandez-leur d'entrer jusqu'à la taille dans l'eau glacée et, en somme, ils y vont sans hésitation. Mais des empilements de bois sur la terre, tous ces billots éparpillés au sec, ce qu'ils les voient d'un œil haineux! (Roy, Gabrielle. «Le long, long voyage». Bulletin des Agriculteurs, Montréal, mai 1945.) 1, record 1, French, - ma%C3%AEtre%2Ddraveur
