Condition"

"Normand(sic) Santa Cruz, 14 years of age, was drowned this morning in the waters of
Back Bay while fishing. The boy left this morning in a skiff by himself to fish for
a while. He was subject to epileptic fits and is believed to have fallen overboard
while in that condition. Missing him about noon, Adolph Santa Cruz, his father, and
others started out to look for him. They found the skiff west of the Back Bay bridge
and fearing that he had fallen overboard began to drag for him. His body was found
aboout two o'clock this afternoon near where the skiff was located. He is survived
by his father, mother and a number of brothers and sisters and other relatives".
