Several e Pasoans are giving al

their fellow business and professional

lightfully easy and expressive; the
ship "heaves to" brings to" or

with no soundings "close-to." or the
ship has 'lean-to" to windward.
Grammatical "subaudition" Is hard.

Upon heaying the lead the sailor
reports the result as "and a quarter

quarter. or, "a quarter less five."
which means four fathoms and three
quarters. This reminds us OF Latin

THE language Of the sailor diff
fers from other technical no
menclaturcs in being an old coll
lateral growth with the standard
language. and in being freer from
the restraints Of written forms. On
the one hand II preserves old forms,
and on the other, II still gives free
play TO the operation OF phonetic
changes. "Yawl' Is the real nautical
word represented In Dutch by "jol"
and In Danish by "Jolle," while the
form "jolly-boat" must have been
nurtured on dry land, where the
written word excrted its influence.
The old variants, "strop' for strap
and "strake' for "streak." used by
sailors. as we'll as "bilge" for
bulge" and "taut" for tight" show
both the relation and the distinction
between the technical language and
the standard language. The free
play Of phonetic change Is illustrated
In channels" for "chain-wales."
"gunnel" for "gunwale." "rullock"
for "rowlock" and "trunnel" for
"tree-nail." The same thing appears
In the pronunciation Of "studding-
SAIL as "stuns'l." 'forecastle" as
'foc's'l.' "bowline" as "bowlin."
'lecward' as 'loo'rd," forward" as
"for'-d.e "topsaip' as "tau-sl." and
'boatswain" as 'bo-s'n." But we can
hardly expect that the dictionaries
will ever acknowledge "hu'es" for
"Hukes," davies for "davits." "bul-
ly-beef' for "boulli beer or "dilly-
wreck" for "derelict." But pronun-
Citations such as these are facts In
nautical parlance, though "dilly-
