of several persons, none of whom had the courage, to
go to his assistance; some of the spgaatori rap to
the Receiving House -to give the alarm. •Tbe boat

ACCOUNT OF A WOMAN SPEAKING WELL ViITHOITT A

TONGUE.

This woman was a native of Monsarray, in the
territory of Elva's, in Portugal : the case was attested
by Wilcox,. Bishop of Rochester, then Chaplain to
the English. Factory. at Lisbon, in a letter dated from
that city, September :31 1707, and was laid before
the Royal Society. in, London. The.following is an
extract- froin • the letter :

‘.‘. The Conde d'Ericeyza, a Nobleman of. letters,
and curiousitt natural knowledge, brought from the
frontiers of this country a woman without a tongue,
who yet speaks very well. She is: seventeen years
of. "age," but in 'Stature exceeds. not one piseven or
eight.. I-was with her at the Cotides- house, and
Made her pronounce "every letter of the alphabet,
which she can do distindly. She bath not the least
bit of tongue, nor any: thing like it, but teeth on
both sides abet tinder Aw, which turn
.very much
inward, and alMost meet. She finds the great want
of a tongue in eating; for, as others when" they eat
move their meat about with their tongue, she is
forced to use her finger. She pretends to distinguish
tastes very well, but, I .believe, cloth it imperfedly.
Her voice, although, very distind, is a little hollow,
and like that of old. people :who have lost their
teeth:"
