Instructors demonstrating wrist hold across overturned canoe

Description: Typed on back of photo: WS 730. Panic is the enemy of water sports devotees. If your canoe tips do not attempt swimming a long distance to shore -- use the canoe as a buoy and wait for rescue. Red Cross instructors demonstrate the wrist hold, enabling one person to rest while the other holds. Credit: Chicago Daily News photo.
