Another Punch image as I recall.I'll look and see if I can find the original context.

Original caption from October 18, 1890:
THE VICTIMS OF HIGH SPEED.
THE DREAM OF AN ANXIOUS CAPTAIN AFTER TEARING ACROSS THE FISHING-GROUNDS OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
(My historical note: Early season ice leading to many losses between 1882 and 1892)
