'The Marine Excursion of the Knights of Pythias' is the third story from Stephen Leacock's masterpiece story sequence 'Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town'. It deals with an exploration of the social, political, and religious aspects of life in Mariposa, while some of its citizens are on a cruise holiday excursion. Spirits are high when catastrophe strikes. An extremely interesting parody of sea voyages, 'The Marine Excursion' is a charming and ironic story, and a very representative portrayal of Leacock's own view of his contemporary Canadians.
