Sunday afternoon a number of little girls were picking flowers from the banks of the river near the G.T.R. bridge south of town. The winder was very high, and when 8-year-old Anna Winter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Winter, of John street, ventured too close to the bank, a gust of wind toppled her over into the river, where there was about nine feet of water.

The little girl was going down for the third time, when Isabella Diver, aged sixteen, plunged in and carried her to safety. The Diver girl was much beyond her depth, and although she professed not to be able to swim, she made her way with the little one to the bank, and must be given credit for having saved the child's life. When she reached safety with her burden she was completely exhausted and was compelled to lie on the grass in her wet clothes for some time to regain her strength.

Little Anna fainted away after being taken from the stream, but was soon revived and taken home. She was able to be out around with the other children in the evening, and suffered no after-effects.

Several people were on the scene of the occurrence soon after, and are loud in their praise of Isabelle Diver and think she acted most bravely.
