Quotes by Emil Petaja (?)

“It’s all the old tales sailors tell about Finns. How they are a race of magicians and warlocks. How they can sing up a storm any time they’ve a mind to. Why, back in the old sailing days you’d be hard put to find a captain who would sign up a Finn—or a crew who would tolerate having him aboard!”
