Sad Death and Society Leader Mrs McGowan Honored

The Arizona Kicker notes the death of Mrs. George McGowan, a prominent Ohio-born society leader who headed town social events and winter gatherings. The piece mixes memorial sentiment with satirical columns and a defiant closing cartoon-like exchange about lectures and attire. Major McGowan mourns, while the column reflects on public life and personal feuds in a tongue-in-cheek style.

Cabin Boy in Iceberg Disaster and Rescue on Petersham

A ship Petersham bound for Liverpool runs afoul of a small iceberg. Cabin boy Jack Withers, 14, endures 26 hours trapped beneath a hatch while the admiring captain later tortures himself with regret, then frees the boy as the crew halts the ship from breaking apart. Jack survives, and the captain later pardons his harsh actions, vowing better treatment.
