Jack the woodman, also described as Mary's woodman is a log haulier working in the woods around the lake. He is romantically involved with Mary Swainson and is a friend of the Charcoal burners. The explorers Titty and Roger see a sight worth waiting for, three horses hauling the trunk of a great tree along the road, one leading the first horse and one riding on the log and smoking a pipe (SD4). Titty sees the woodman who led the horses speaking to Mary (SD10), and later they saw Mary’s woodman going off with his three horses and load of great trees (SD20).
