From Betsy Innes:
Harold White went to Hall's Creek one day to tell a neighbour's boy that is was time to go home, he fell in and was drowned. This is what was written about the event in "The Transcript" Monday, July 10, 1905.
"Harold, the 10 year old son of Mr. James A. White, I.C.R. [Inter colonial Railroad], baggage master, was drowned in 'the old swimming hole' in the creek at the head of Archibald St. on Sat. evening about 4:00. With several playmates, young White on Sat. afternoon repaired to the creek for a bath after an exciting and warm game of cricket. Several of the boys could swim but White was unable to. The 'swimming hole' is formed by a low dam of rocks laid bank to bank. The water is quite shallow in the vicinity of the dam but is quite deep a short distance further up, esp. so when the tide is in. The tide was running in Sat. afternoon when the accident occurred, and in this narrow creek it
runs with a good deal of velocity. Young White was standing near the dam in the shallow water, when a playmate came floating by on a log of a branch of a tree. 'Let me have the log' asked the lad 'for I can't swim'. His playmate gave assent and young White boarded the log, up the creek it floated and just as he came into deep water the log began to roll. The lad swayed and plunged for a moment then shot beneath the surface, with a cry for help to his companions. One of the later, a lad named Charlie Cooks, jumped in to the rescue and seized the drowning lad. The later clutch the would-be rescued and a double tragedy seemed imminent when another lad jumped in . The later attempted to seize White's hair and pull him to shore, but in vain, the lad's hair had been cut short and it was impossible to secure a firm grip. A second time he sank and then a plank was pushed out from the shore by some of the boys friends; but all their attempts at a rescue were ineffectual and the lad sank from view beneath the waves.
It was a couple of hours later when the body was recovered. Several unsuccessful attempts had been made, but finally when the tide was getting lower, Mr. John MacDonald dived in and brought it to the surface, and it was conveyed to the deceased's home on Robinson Street. The White's many friends will sympathize with him in his brevement. The deceased lad was a bright little fellow and a favorite with his playmates. Mr. White has had his share of troubles; his wife died a few years ago and now death has carried off his eldest son. Interviewed by the Transcript reporter on Sat. evening, several boys who were with young White told of the sad accident. The boys also said it was quite customary for lads who were unable to swim, to bath in the creek at high tide as well as low and said that during the past few years there had been many narrow escapes from drowning accidents. Coroner Purdy was notified and after talking with the boys described that an inquest was not necessary."
