IF YOUR BOAT cApsIzEs.
First Right Her, but Do Not Try to
Get In

Robert J. Wilkir, president of the
board of governors of the New York
Canoe association gives the following
valuable suggestions in communication
TO the New York Herald:
1T is unpleasant and quite serious to
be capsiZed from a small boat, but under
ordinary conditions there is no reason
why a fatal result should follow. From
an experience of over twenty years with
canoes | can say without any fear of
contradiction, because it is frequently
proved ut our clubhouse, that one of the
lightest canoes that can be built is amply
able to support large sized heavy man,
even when filled with water. Nay,
more than this, | have seen one of the
very lishtest canoes, when filled with
water, support three ADULTS. and at the
Brooklyn Canoe club on GraveSend bay

possible get inside of it and see how
many it will float before sinking
AS soon as the canoe capSizeS the
thing TO do. without getting excited. is to
right her. OF course, she will be full of
water. Do not attempt to get amy of
the water out. because this is generally
impossible. but climb over either the side
or the end. and when you do this the
chances are that she will sink under the
water. but as she feels the weight of
your body Tightening she will rise to the
surface. and it is then for You to lie
down in the boat, resting your head on
the thwart or the crosspiece toward the
end, where You can remain until picked
up. The fact that your arm or arms
may be put out of the water so that you
can wave to persons on the shore or on
passing boats will not materially affect
the totation of your boat. Not only one
person can do this, hut two
