Two Cockneys in a Canoe

The dangers of "larking" in so frail a barque as a Canadian canoe are well exemplified in this film. Two young men give way to the temptation to splash one another with their paddles, with the result, that getting wet they also get cross and excited, and in an evil moment stand up in the boat. The canoe almost immediately capsizes and pitches the venture some occupants out into the water, much to the amusement of those in other boats which happen to pass as the accident occurs. A very amusing picture.
