Both great questions MLP – I think EH was a very all or nothing sort of man. When he went duck hunting he was ruthless. They took decoys (fake ducks) to attract the birds and then shot them in large numbers (far more than they needed).
The boatman in my imagined piece would have been ticked off for being forced to be out on the lagoon so early in the morning (before dawn), also it was probably very cold.

Reading this for a second time with a different perspective. Wonder why the boatman was so ticked off? Was it just his nature or something that E.H. did or said to him that set him off? Also wondering how long E.H. had been contemplating taking his own life.
