Lifesaving act by James Stalker saves boy from canal
Ten year old Eddie Flannery fell into the Pawtucket canal near Prescott Street as swift current carried him past the Boott water wheels. James Stalker, a former Boott employee and bystander, dove in from East Merrimack Street and swam to the boy, with 25 to 30 onlookers aiding to lift him over the wall. He was revived and taken home at 104 Dummer Street before an ambulance arrived. The report notes a Winnipesaukee excursion on September 10 as the season’s best.
