“Celeuma, tis. ó Celeusma, tis. n. Canto, grita ó algazara de marineros cuando descubren tierra, y para divertir el trabajo.
Celeustes, æ. m. El cómitre de galera.”
[Diccionario Manual Latino-Español, Gimenez, 1834]


“...The axe of the woodman still is heard in the distant forest, the splash of the water fall keeps music with the wheel of the manufacturer, the "yeo heave
ho” of the sailor enlivens the wharves of our cities, and the sound of the hammer is cheering our country with the honest and useful labours of the mechanic.”
[The Gleaner (Boston) 24 May, 1834]
