THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
47
I walked to the spot where I had
seen the grave, pushed the -bushes
aside and strode in. I looked carefully
about me. There was the small mound
and on it lay itwo skeletons.
I sank down, too unnerved to think
clearly. My mind sped back to the
days of my youth. When I was a mere
child, my brother, who was twenty
years of age, had left home with his
wife and child to settle in the newly-
opened west. They wrote home a few
times, relating this and that about
their trip. Then, suddenly the letters
stopped coming and, though over the
years we made many inquiries as to
their whereabouts, no living human
being could tell us what had become
of the three of them.
I do not try to explain what I wit-
nessed that night. I merely relate it
as it happened.
REYKJAVIK AND WINNIPEG TWINNED
Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba,
and Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland,
were twinned in August when docu-
ments in this connection were signed
by Mayor Stephen Juba of Winnipeg
and Mayor Geir Hallgrimsson in Rey-
kjavik. Text of the formal declaration
of twinning was written in both Ice-
landic and English. The Icelandic text
was delivered by Grettir L. Johann-
son, consul of Iceland in Winnipeg,
to Mayor Elallgrimsson while on a
visit to Iceland in August.
