              WELL-KNOWN MASTER DEAD
              
              Capt. BABOTTE (sic) Passed Away
                in Milwaukee.
                
              Another well-known veteran lake captain
            has passed away in Capt. DAVID B. CABOTTE,
            whose home is at 435 Beaufait avenue. Capt.
            CABOTTE was taken off his vessel, the
            schooner Biwabik, after suffering a stroke
            of paralysis, while at Milwaukee last month.
            He was taken to St. Mary's hospital, that
            city, where he died.
              The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon
            at 2 o'clock from the residence, under Masonic
            auspices. The captain was a member of Zion
            Lodge, F. & A. M., and of the A. O. U. W. He
            leaves a widow, but no children. He was born
            in Algonac, March 17, 1851.
              At the age of 10 years Capt. CABOTTE'S 
            father took him sailing, and among the vessels
            that he commanded in later years were the Lillie
            May, the Shawnee, the Mary B. Mitchell, the
            William McGregor and the Jeanette.
              Five years ago, in Lake Michigan, the captain
            brought the Jeanette safely through a big gale,
            winning much credit. Another boat, the Doty, 
            was lost in the same storm.
            
            *Transcriber's Note: the surname was mis-spelled
            throughout as Cabotte. His surname was CADOTTE
            and the "Jeanette" referred to was the schooner
            Olive Jeanette which was in tow of the steamer
            L. R. Doty which was lost on Lake Michigan on 
            October 25, 1898.
              Coincidence that the Olive Jeanette was lost
            on Lake Superior September 3, 1905.
