A boy was nearly drowned at Brown's Island on Saturday when the employees of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company's works at Chelsea were holding their picnic. The lad was the son of Mr. F. Halloran. He fell into the water, and was in serious difficulties when Mr. Charles Neads, jumped in. fully clothed as he was, and brought the boy to safety. When the steamer was coming back to town there was an impromptu demonstration to show appreciation of the gallant act of Mr. Neads, who was heartily cheered.
