Not on view
A skating scene shows men falling through thin ice while skating. At center three figures are intertangled in a hole, with two stretching their arms onto the ice and another represented by his legs only. At left two additional heads bob above the ice, and at right two men who look over at them trip and fall. The drama is watched from shore by three men who stand near a tent that flies a flag.
