The old Fuller granite quarry at
the END Of Granite street has been
the scene of first swimming lessons
for three generations Of youngsters
from that section OF the city, claim
ed its first victim in an accidental
drowning. Tuesday afternoon, when
Frank Boswell, the nine year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Frank Boswell
Of 81 Chapel street lost his life in the
deep waters of the abandoned quar-
ry after slipping over the edge of
the sharp granite shelf on the north
side.
The little Boswell lad, in company
with Vincent Tingiey, a schooImate
at ST. Mary's parochial school, went
to the Ledge" as 1t has been known
to many people Of this city for over
a score Of years, with the object Of
trying their luck at early spring fish
ing. Their school Is closed for the
Easter recess and the youngsters
were taking full advantage of their
respite from their studies. They had
both been warned by their parents
not to venture too near the edge of
the treacherous quarry hole, and
mindful Of this word of caution the
boys had cut long fishing poles and
with the make shift lines and hooks,
common to the American youth of
all times, were attempting to lure
the wiley little fish from their po-
sition we'll back from the rocky
perpendicular edge.
In changing position. the Boswell
boy lost his footing on the granite,
made slippery by Tuesdays all day
rain, and went over the brink into
the water four or five feet below.
me Tingiey boy saw his danger at
once and endeavored to assist his
playmate. He knew Frank could
swim, and as he told the story
later 1t did not appear as though
Frank went below the surface at ali
but rather kept himself afioat and
got a hand hold on a cleft in the
granite rock at that point. Tho
Tingley lad in his fright at the sud
den catastrophe, called loudly for
help and ran toward the nearest
houses on Granite street to secure
assistance.
1t is believed that the shock of
the extremely cold water together
with the effect of a small bump on
his forehead. which he suffered as he
fell, exhausted the unfortunate boy,
and he loosed his hold, sinking. to
the bottom which is some fifteen feet
neloW the surface at that point, be-
fore aid could reach him.
Ernest Temple, Ralph Kittredre
and others living in the vicinity
made all haste to the water filled
quarry, but the Tingley lad in his
excitement could not give them any
clear story of what had happened or
just where his companion had fallen
IN, and 1t was some minutes before
kittredge, who had entered the icy
water. and young Temple located the
body lying on the bottom just off
the ledge on the north side.
