CHARLES THIRIOLD.

[Is not _rile_ a corruption of the American colloquialism _royle_

or _roil_, to make turbid by stirring up the sediment, or to make

angry? Theodore de la Guard, in _The Simple Cobler of Aggawam_, p.

2. A.D. 1647, says: "Sathan is now in his passions, he feeles his

passion approaching: he loves to fish in _royled_ waters."]
