THE LANGUAGE OF THE ESQUIMAU.
Spoken by InUabitantn ot Mor*- Thnn
IO,(MR) Milt-tt of Count Liiuil,
From the Forum.
The Esquimanuan language, which is
spoken at the extreme north of this hemis
phere, is aiso fountl in the north of Asia.
The people have been called Ofarlans, that
is, "dwellers on the shore.” They inhabit
a narrow strip of country around the mar
gin of Greenland, and to the west of Baf
fin’s bay, around all the great islands and
down the coast to the Gulf of St. Law
rence, on the western shore of Hudson bay,
and about the bays and straits to the
north; then to the west around Alaska,
and still further along the Arctic shores
of the eastern continent. They thus ex
tend along the winding island and main
land coast for more than 10,000 miles, in
habiting a narrow fringe of country by
the gea. and obtaining their livelihood
therefrom. More than 10,000 miles of coast
land are occupied by a people who speak
one language.
But in Newfoundland there are tribes
which apeak another tongue mixed with
the Esquimauan, while on the southwest
coast there are other tribes speaking mix
ed tongues: and the same is true of tribes
inhabiting the northern coast of Asia. If
we call all these tongues Esquimau,in,
then the principal tongue Is still homo
geneous and a common medium for ihe
communication of tribes occupying, as. 1
have said, more than 10,000 miles of the
most difficult coast known to mankind.
While there is intercommunication, it is
infrequent because of the difficulties and
perils of Arctic navigation. Thus, in all
that stretch of country there Is but one
language. What are the conditions un
der which this language has been pre
served in Its integrity and homogeneity?
Simply these: The territory occupied by
the people speaking this language is cut
ofT from the interior by an uninhabitable
belt of glacial land, so that the means of
communication are to be found mainly cn
the seaward side. The inhabitants, hav
ing been .distributed over this enormous
belt of coast from a primitive tribe having
one language, have preserved that lan
guage through all their vicissitudes ,nd
stages of culture; while in the southeast,
where the Esquimauan territory joins
territory Occupied by tribes having other
tongues, we find mixed languages. The
same facts appear on the southern coast
of Alaska. In languages differentiated
from the main stock by admixture with
other languages. With the xceptlon point
ed out, the Esquimauan language Is the
purest language known on this hemis
phere. So far as they have been studied,
all other language* are compounded of at
least two, and usually of many.

SHIPS AND SHIPPING.
Tlie New Dredge Port Roynl Gone to
Do Work at the Entrance to the

Two Steamers Arrived at Tybee
and Ordered Oil,

Augusta and way landings, brought 5 bales
cotton, 250 bales sweepings, 74 barrels
rosin, and a lot of miscellaneous freight.
The British steamsjiip Kelburn has ar
rived at Galveston for a cargo of cotton.
There is nothing unusual about a steamer
taking cotton from Galveston for a for
eign port. That is a frequent occurrence.
But the Kelburn is to take a cargo of the
staple to Japan, where there Is seldom a
cargo of that kind shipped from the Uni
ted States.
The British steamship Ferndene, Capt.
Tippet, from St. Michaels, arrived at Ty
bee yesterday for orders, and proceeded
to Philadelphia. The British steamship
Moorgate, Capt. Long, arrived at Tybee
and proceeded to Hampton Roads for or
ders. Both steamships were consigned to
J. F. Minis & Cos., who ordered them to
their destination.
Capt. John A. Montelius of the Mer
chants and Miners’ steamship Chatham,
who died at Baltimore Tuesday, was well
known in Savannah, In 1882 he was en
gaged on the steamship Gate City of the
Savannah and New York line. Later he
became quartermaster of the William
Kennedy, plying between Savannah and
Baltimore. He was shipwrecked with the
vessel, on the North Carolina coast, after
which he went in schooners, and was
wrecked twice again, or three times, in
one year. Afterward he became quarter
master of the McClellan of the Merchants
and Miners' Line. Next he went to the
steamers Frostburg and Charles F. Mayer
of the Consolidation Coal Company, and
was aboard the latter vessel when it was
wrecked on the New Jersey coast in 1881.
He became quartermaster of the D. H.
Miller, sailed on the oil tank Maverick on
her maiden trip and went back to the
Merchants and Miners’ Line, as quarter
master of the Essex, on her maiden trip
in 1890. He was promoted to second and
first officer of the Essex. When the How
ard was built he was made chief ofilcer
for four years, under Capt. Taylor. He
was on the Howard when Capt. Taylor
committed suicide. After the death of
Capt. Taylor, Mate Montelius became
master of the Chatham, thirteen months

a wife.
The New York Dredging Company’s

Royal yesterday by the tugs Jacob Paul
sen and H. \M. C. Smith. The dredge will
begin work at once on the entrance to the
government dry dock at Paris Island. The
Port Royal Is an Immense piece of mod
ern machinery, designed to do the heaviest
kind of dredging. She was built at Savan
nah, under the supervision of Superintend
ent Fields of the company. All of the
work was done by local help and the en
tire outfit was furnished by Savannah, ex
cept the machinery.
