A company on an outing have been thrown from their rough carriage. The wheels on one side have given way, tipping them over a low cliff and into the sea. Bodies fly in all directions, a large woman holds aloft a bottle of beer as she descends towards her companions in the sea. The others in the sea are tugging at each other for help, a bottle bobs around between them.
