Sterling Ivison 2 G.B. interrupted his leisurely row down the Charles yesterday afternoon long enough to save an elderly Cambridge woman from drowning.
The woman fell into the Charles near the Sparks Street side of the river bank. Ivison happened to be passing by with his shell and noticed her floating head down. After beaching hastily, he jumped in after her. He quickly brought her to the shore, where he then administered artificial respiration.
Meanwhile, Munroe G. Moore '52 summoned the rescue squad of the Cambridge Fire Department. By the time the squad arrived, the woman had recovered. She was escorted home by two policemen, later explaining that a slight sun-stroke had caused her to fall.
