Manah=ackaquasu=U'anock, given as the name of Shelter Island, is a composition of two names, as shown by the record entry, "All that their i.^Iand of Aliaquacu-'wainuck, otherwise called Manhansack." Ahaqua.zn-zvamnck is no doubt the equivalent of Aiihaquassu (Nar.), "Sheltered," and -amuck is an equivalent of ■■amaug, "Fishing-place," literally, "Sheltered fishing-place." Menhansack is Manhansick in deed of 1652, and Munhassett and Manhasctt in prior deed of 1640. (East-Hampton Records.) It is a composition from Miinnohan, "Island ;" es, "small," and et, "at" and describes a small island as "at" or "near" some other island. The compound Manah-ahaquazu-zi'anock, means, therefore, simply, "S'heltered-fishing-place island," identifying the island by the fishing-place, while ManJiasctt identifies it in generic terms as a small island near some other island or place. ^ The island now bears the generic terms Manliasctt. Pogatacutt, sachem of the island, is supposed to have lived on what is now known as "Sachem's Neck." (See Montauk.) Manises, or Mciiasses, as written by Dr. Trmiibull, the name of Elock Island, means, literally, "Small island," just as an Englisihman would describe it. The Narragansetts were its owners. Its earliest European occupant was Capt. Adriaen Block, who, having lost his vessel by burning at Manhattan, constructed here another which he called the "Onrust" or "Restless," in 1614. It was the first vessel constructed by Europeans in New York waters. In this vessel Block made extended surveys of Hudson's River, the Connecticut, the Sound, etc. Acquiring from his residence among them a knowledge of the Connecticut coast dialects, he wrote the names of tribes on the Hudson in that dialect.
