"The timber tirade... is of more importance 1n employing our Ships and seamen than 11. is considered to be; and employs also a vast number of people in the British colonies, whose manner of living, owing to the nature of business they follow, is uziirely different from that of the other inhabitants of North America.” "Several cf these people form what is termed a “lumbering party’) consisting of persons who are all either hired by a master lumberer, who pays them wages, and them 1n provisions or of individuals who enter into an lulderst-an-ding with each other, to have a loint interest in the proceeds of he: labor." The necessary supplies of pro. visions, clothing, and s0 on, were usually obtained frcm the merch- ants, on credit, in consideration o! receiving some of the timber brought, dcwn the rivers the folio-w- ing summer. A list of the things deemed requisite were: “axes. cross-cut saws, cocking utensils, at least one cask of rum. 105W“! 511d pipes, a sufficient quantity of bs- cult, pork, bee! and fun: PM and pearl barley for s0up,_ with a cask of molasses."

I was inclined to question this, because it 1s the genius of the English language l0 thrust the accent towards the front of a word. just as the French lan- guage prefers it at the end: but when I looked it, up 1n the King's English" dictionary I found that the announcer was right. A ccupie of lines down, hmever, there was “Ccmm-and-er" with the accent on the penultimate syllable - one last but. one. That is in accordance with the genius of the language. Probably "CommandAWr" in brought in frcm one of the called "Latin" languages, Notice how the BBC talks of tide island of Timor as ‘rle-mor, while the 0B0 says Tee-mor? ‘me latter 11s ihethyruinch Frgjnclh was 0118 Q 5118111589 P 011186)’ over in Europe, and it: alphabet was used to represent the sounds cf eastern place names. But John Bull, regardless of anybody eisels feelings, treated the spelling 1n his way; so we have Tie-mot Par-is, instead of Par-BE, and so on. In “Pied Piper," a story dealing with the adventures of an English. man in occupied France, I came across a. sentence in German which offers no difficulty t0 the o ry English reader. “Kom, Anna," says the Gestapo chief, who is trying to smuggle hi; niece to America, “Kom, Anna. hier 1st. Herr Howard wirst. du zu Onkel gehen." ‘me last word "go"—in Northumibcian it be "gan." Du is "thou." 1n the North "thoo" and say "z\1” as if "tsoo." colloquial German is cousin to colloquial English, but the "written" German is made cumbrcus by running several words together to form one: for example the "Sanitatsunterofflzier" was the title of a military doctor in tlhe story. In the rlod which chancer wrote t re were many German words in our language, which have now disappeared. They mark; hLs poetry harder to under- sa . 50.
