River Rescue. Writing from 66, Hills Avenue, (Cambridge), Mr Thomas C. Catlin states: “Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to express my sincere thanks and gratefulness to the gentleman who on Monday night dived into the river Cam in the fog and darkness, near Chesterton, and rescued my son from drowning? It was a very gallant and heroic action on such a. night. I would also like to thank the girls, who, returning home from work, went back to fetch help, and therefore helped to save the boy’s life. Although still suffering from shock, he is recovering again.” 40 12 06
