Adding Image to Java Applet

I am having a problem with my image not being displayed on my applet, here is the code, all pertaining to the image; 

 Image globe;

//Adding Image in init()
Image globe = getImage (getCodeBase (), "C:/Users/Andrew/Downloads/Computer Science/globe.jpg");
//later in code

 public void paint (Graphics g)
    {
        g.drawString ("'The Best Travel Agency in the world' - John Travelta", 400, 675);
        g.drawImage(globe, 0, 100, this);
    } // paint method

    public boolean action (Event e, Object o)
    {
        if (e.target == DomRep)
        {
            String DomRepBox = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Please Enter your name: ");
        }
        return true;
    }

this is the error I am receiving;

Image globe = getImage (getCodeBase(), "relative/path/to/globe.jpg");

Should work just fine for an applet. If the applet is in the same directory as the HTML, this is even easier.

Image globe = getImage (getDocumentBase(), "globe.jpg");

I don't understand what the getImage() method is, but normally you import images like this:

try {
    globe = ImageIO.read(new URL("URL_OF_FILE.png"));
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
