If we must have small farmers and our own young men have other ambitions, there are plenty of good European immigrants, and it is our business to encourage them. We assimilate anything white so quickly it is a wonder an immigrant remembers the native way of pronouncing his own name.

Wardrop wrote up on the engine-room bulkhead. Fifteen days had gone -fifteen days of killing labour and there was hope before them. It is curious that no man knows how the rods were straightened.
