On the date and time indicated, the officer was dispatched to Day Kimball Hospital for a report to two cold injuries as a result of a canoe overturning in the Blackwell Brook in Brooklyn. The occupants stated that after making a portage around a log in the brook, the operator was attempting to board when the canoe became unbalanced and capsized, spilling all three people in the water. They were in the water for only a minute or so. The canoe did not have any personal flotation devices in it or on the occupants while they were underway.
