uhhh do i not know how to light a candle?

ok so i went to party america and bought these two rose floating candles. so i just decided to place one in a bowl of water and light it to see how long it would last (testing for the centerpieces at the reception). neways, it started making a cackling sound and burned out like 4 minutes later. what the heck did i do wrong?
