YOULE, (Yorkshire, E.R.) 12 m. below York, at the conflux of the Don and Humber. Here is a remarkable dike, called Youle-
Dike, 10 m. long. Here are a sort of people, called triers, who with a long piece of iron, search into the soft boggy
ground hereabouts for subterraneous trees, which they sometimes meet with of the fir-kind, as we read in the Philosophical
Transactions, No. 28. They often meet with trees large enough to furnish timber for building, and the lesser trees they
split in lathes, or cut into chips or splinters, which being tied up in bundles are sent to the Mt.-Ts. several miles off
to light fires or tobacco.
