Too Much Water

• Watchlist

A certain gentleman wakes up one morning and makes the horrible discovery that the town is being flooded. After surveying the damage done, he hurriedly makes preparations in case his residence becomes endangered, and to do this he fits up a boat, provisions it and places it in readiness to be launched from the window. Night arrives, he prepares for rest, and washing preparatory to going to bed, he omits to turn off the tap. In his sleep he has a most horrible nightmare in which he is drowning, and in his fright he leaps out of bed only to find his room flooded. He retains his self-possession, however, and boarding the boat, gracefully launches it through the window, the only mishap being that it capsizes when reaching the water.
