[ganong] PLACE-NOMENCLATURE OF NEW BRUNSWICK 277 



Tongues Island.— (Near Fort Cumberland). No doubt for Winckworth Tonge 

 to whom it was granted in 1760. By the French, Me la Fabien' for the 

 Seignior. 



Tormentine, Cape. — Origin uncertain. Elsewhere I have given reasons for 

 believing that this may be a survival of the Cap des Sauvages, given by 

 Cartier to North Cape, P. E. L (Trans. Royal Soc. Can., VII., ii., 18); but I 

 fear that ground is untenable. It is probably connected with C. Tourment 

 = Cape of Storms. On Denys, 1672 as Le Cap de totirmentin ; Jumeau, 1685, 

 has C. tourment; De Meulles, 1686, tourmeniin ; Morris, 1749, Torment; 

 D'Anville, 1755, tourment; Jeffreys, 1755, Stormy point, while Popple, 1733, 

 has, probably for the same, C. Savage. Des Barres, 1781, places it where C. 

 Jourimain now is, and there it remains upon most maps down to Baillie, 

 1832, which locates it as at present. 



It is locally explained as originating in the torments suffered by the 

 early settlers from mosquitoes, etc. 



Tracadie. — From the Micmac Tulakadik = camping ground (Rand), also said = 

 wedged-shaped {Tool-a-kun =wedge; also see Trumbull II.) In Champlain, 

 1604, as Tregaie, followed by others. Dudley, Italian, 1647, has Tigate ; 

 Jumeau, 1685, has R eraiudi (misprint ?) ; De Meulles, 1686, Tracady ; Cooney 

 gives a branch towards Pokemouche Anscoot. Little Tracadie is (Rand) 

 Tulakadeech. 



Tracy Brook.— In Micmac, Mis-took or Mis-ta-gook. This stream was chosen as 

 boundary between N. B. and Quebec, but as the Patapedia was actually made 

 the boundary by the surveyors, the name Mistook has been transferred on 

 some maps to that river. Mistouch on the 1786 survey map. 



Trowsers Lake. — Doubtless by the lumbermen for its shape. In Maliseet, 

 Nictauuagpack = branching in two parts (iMcInnes); a\so Bel-chess-og' -a- 

 mook, their familiarization of the English Trowsers (Breeches) Lake. 



Tryon Settlement.— Founded about 1841. Origin? 



Turtle Creek.— (Westmorland). Perhaps descriptive. On a plan of 1787. 



Tynemouth Creek.— Origin ? In Northumberland, England. Familiarized 

 locally to Ten-mile Creek, and soon Bouchette, 1831. 



U. 



Udenack. — Perhaps from the Maliseet Wee-nay -den-ack (Jack). On plan of 1787 



as Udeneck. 

 Unlacke Mountain.— (Westmorland near Bay Verte). Said locally to be for 

 Richard John Uniacke, who represented Sackville Township in the N. S. 

 Legislature in 1783. There is another of the same name near Halifax. 

 Upham.— P., 1835. No doubt for Joshua Upham, loyalist, a judge of N. B. 

 Upper Reach. — (York, Nacawicac to Longs Creek.); also Long Reach, also Coac 

 Reach. Descriptive. Used by the French ; in the description of the Seig- 

 niory of Sieur de Bellefond, 1690, as Longues veues = long view or reach. 

 Upsalquitch River. — From the Micmac Ap-set-quelchk — a small river. All 

 agree upon this. 



On the Survey map of 1786 as Upsatquitch. Bonnor, 1820, has it as at 

 present. Loc. pr. Ab-se-quish. 

 Micmac names of larger branches under their names ; of the smaller, — 

 Little Falls. Sag-a-de-echk^. 



S. E. Branch. To-qua^ -dik.
