The people inhabiting those' wild regipns where the Lana falls into the sea, call themselves Tongoux, and their county Anger- darn. To the north of the embou chure is an Isthmus, which, thoug faintly marked on our maps, is of considerable extent, and here it is u- sual for the neighboring tribes to as semble during the,short summer they are favored with, in quest of fish, and of mammoth teeth, or horns (they may be called either) which are fre quently found scattered upon the strand. It‘wa9 in one of these excur cions that a Tongoux chief called S mmachoft, perceived in the sum mer of 1799, an unknown mass, inca sed towards the upper extremity of a block of ice, which had been thrown ftshore, and left by the waves. In the succeeding summer lie could dis- tinguish'one side, and afterwards the feet of an animal of great size which he coon conjectured to be the mammoth ; but on his return home to communi cate the good news, the seers of' the tribe alarmed him by denouncing the vengeance of heaven if he proceeded auy farther in his enterprize.
