1861  The punt loaded with our game, homeward we hie for breakfast; and a jolly meal it is, the allowance being a duck a man.
1906  If confined to the Arm and when the day was fine, a punt (in Newfound-land a keeled rowboat of peculiar native construction) and one man sufficed; if out in the bay to Deer Harbor, a "cod-seine skiff" and half a dozen men might be needed.
1954  I got out in the punt and pushed off for a picture of the boat.
