Same as with 1st Enc. & Point of Ob of Ob-Island.  The Innuits constantly running the Boat this way & that crossing the Channel firing at Ducks wh are in every direction - It is but approximation but I expect in my

"Ducking" apparently means "duck hunting." Duck and duck eggs were a favorite of the Innuits per Hall.
