A horizontally oriented pen and ink illustration depicts a carriage and horse team struggling through deep water. Figures peer from windows while others wade chest-deep to the left. Churning waves and jagged rocks in the foreground are rendered with dense cross-hatching. A solid black void dominates the upper background, while a lead figure guides the horses rightward. The signature "W.H. Drake" sits in the lower left corner.
