1941 Eight year old Ronald Boyle, of 31 Hamilton street, East Fremantle, was saved from drowning by a woman near Fremantle traffic bridge today. The woman slipped quietly away afterwards before anyone could find out her name. She had gone to the boy's assistance in a boat. Mrs. Winifred Hamilton, of Attfield street, South Fremantle, told the police that about 2.30 p.m., while travelling across Fremantle traffic bridge in a motor car with her husband, she saw a woman trying to drag Boyle into the boat. The woman told her that the boy had fallen from a pile into the water and she had taken a boat out to rescue him. Mrs. Hamilton said that the woman appeared to be exhausted and left without giving her name. Boyle was taken by Mrs. Hamilton to the Fremantle Hospital, where he was detained for treatment, suffering from shock and effects of immersion. After recovering in hospital Boyle told the police that he was walking across the bridge with a boy who accidentally pushed him, with the result that he fell into the water. (reference)
