TRANSCRIPT

When they were coming over with all this limited space, if the tools and the books did not both fit into the chest they took out the tools and left them. They broght the books. They came over with books, and the first thing they did was they put all their books together and started libraries. In Wynyard there was an Icelandic doctor who was running a drugstore, and he had a lending library in the drugstore. They had books, which is why - and that just blows the Icelanders away all the time - we've got him reading poetry to her [for the Icelandic memorial statue]. And that'll do it to any Icelander we take out there.
