Macdonald & Bros , store.] Deed of Heroism "On Friday last a deed of heroism was performed at Georgetown whereby a drowning accident was happily prevented. A little boy named Martell was trying to teach himself to swim in the dock between the MacDonald's and Jenkins' wharves. He was by himself in a dory and he had got into the water with a pair of bladders around his shoulders. The lad was quite alone and was between 13 & 14 years old. The bladders slipped off his shoulders and he began to sink. The boys who were watching were too small to be of any assistance. Norman Caswell , a young boy in Judge Hodgson 's service was coming down the wharf and quickly took in the situation. Hastily throwing off his clothes he jumped in and swam to the sinking lad. Martell was sinking for the second time when young Caswell dived after him, got hold of him and swan with him to the wharf amid the plaudits of the spectators whose attention had now been called to the lad's dangerous situation."
