Lov na race; čakališče na jezeru pri jami Lisišče (1759)
by Franz Anton von Steinberg which depicts waterfowl
hunting.
"There happened to be an iron pot and an ax on
board--- they cut off a piece of the boat rope, and picked it to oakum, and
putting it in the pan of a gun, with some powder, catched it on fire, which
with some thin pieces cut from the mast, they kindled in the pot, and then cut
up their mast, seats, &c. for fuel, and making a tent of their sail, wrapt
themselves as well as they could;"
From
The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1765, 3 men trapped in the ice in their boat during a
waterfowl hunt and likely to freeze to death:
