Transcription Notes:
A "ki-a" is described in a footnote on page 103 of Halls book "Arctic Researches and Life Among the Esquimeaux" "* The Greenland term for a boat or canoe containing one man is Ky-ack, but among the Innuits I was acquainted with Ki-a is the word, and such I henceforth use." and is so written in these notes. A"nowyer" is a type of bird. Quote from Hall's book, page 421: "'Miner' has just shot a nowyer on the wing from his kia. First pop, down it comes. We are on the rocks first thing; 'bad beginning, good ending.'" "8 45 A.M., land on a small island to bail the old leaky boat." Pp 421-22" "This moment I ask Koojesse which way now, the many islands ahead making it doubtful which is the better course. He points across the bay to the other or north side. I suspected this was the way he was directing the boat. He acts the devil with me. My work on this, the Kingaite side, is ended. I said to him I can not do the work I wanted to. * * * * 'I must submit, hard as it is. Why did not the fellow tell me this morning what he was intending to do?"
