Simpson's quarry has been the mecca for boys," both large and small, since the springs gushed forth many years ago and'filled the quarrv hole.

There are sudden and deep rockv cllvities in the Edacious pond, and even in the hottest weather the water is severely cold. Quite a number who have been in this quarry have been rendered helpless by beinu suddenly attacked with cramps, while others have been stunned by striking their heads asramst prolwtlnir rocks in divms: from the banks. Many who were just beginning to learn to swim, ventured out too far the shallow and were drowned before help could reach them.
