Done by a Canoe by Donald Allen
A judge, his wife, and daughter rent a Bayshore cottage to escape a looming engagement with painter Graham. The father’s fear of canoeing triggers comic misadventures as Elsie and Graham orchestrate a paddle to test the match. After a near capsize, the judge must decide if he accepts the pair while a jury of relatives weighs the outcome.
