FRED STRUBE CONFESSES
MURDER OF SWEETHEART

who gathered here yesterday expect

No one, aside from the attorneys,
the defendant, and his father, and the
relatives of the dead girl, knew of the

plea of guilty came as great sur

Accompanied by deputy sheriff on
either side, Strube followed his father

and 1917 feet deep.
1t was not the intention of Miss Nc
Gowan's parents to make sailor Of her.
Instead they desired that she remain
ashore, attend a convent and be free
from the dangers of life at sea. This
desire gave every indication of being full
filled when the young girl spent her first
summer on board the vessel. That was
four years ago. and that time she was
badly frightened at the heavy pitchings
Of tne schooner when out on the lake
during a storm. But inborn love fer the
water would not be quenched. and, over
coming fear. she developed passion for
the lakes that would not be denied.
In two years she mastered the intrica-
cies Of boat knowledge. and two years
ago found her installed as wheelman On
the Marengo. She knows the compass
and just low is mastering the problem
of figuring cut course from the charts.
Miss MCGOWAN can take the wheel OF
the Marengo and steer from Toledo har-
Dor to the upper lakes. To the landlub-
Der who knows little about the impor-
lance Of exact knowledge of such
course, this announcement means moth
ing, bat to the mariner who knows the
dangers of Georgian bay and the treach-
crous rocks it means volumes.
The girl sailor has spent many a
night at the wheel when the waves
rushed over the decks and almost swept
her from her post, but she is as unas-
Stunning about her feats in this line as
if handling a wheel under such circum-
stances was of no Importance
In addition, she can haul up the sail
with the best sailor on board, and this
knowledge saved the vessel from crash
ing into the steamer James Fisk, at
st. Clair, not long ago, when that YES
sci, with the Marengo in tow, went
aground. Miss MCGOWAN ran up the
sails, and the schooner was swung away
from the stranded steamer in the nick
of time,
