1897 Rescue from Drowning in Carlisle.

[This Boy]

Records of the Cumbria Constabulary (formerly the Cumberland and Westmorland Constabulary)

Have you tried contacting Cumbria Archives to see if the incident was recorded and what the Police Log Book or Incident Book or Occurrence Book (or whatever they call these Book/s in their Force), said about the incident and rescuer?

You may need to purchase a page copy or scan of the entries in the various Log/s and Book/s.

Added:
Some Policeman Note Books also survive in some Constabulary Records?

One of the books, may, or may not give you brief summary and include those involved?
