A BOY’S ADVENTURES
Escaping from a Birmingham reformatory school, Fredrick Stevens, aged 13, of Woking, fell into a canal and was rescued by a bargee with whom he lived for a year.
He afterwards wandered about the country on foot, and finally tramped home. He has now been sent back to the reformatory school.
