IL Is thought by some that this IS by no
means the extent Of this colossal swindle, and
that in a few days much larger amounts will
be discovered.
The America, it is said, was provisioned for
q two years voyage, aud her bill for "fine
stores" such as preserved meats and fruits,
spices, wines, DC, amounted 10 the sum Of
$4,000. II is also said that she carries four
guns, two Of them brass pieces. Her crew be-
ing composed of men ready TO do the bidding
Of their master in any emergency, any attempt
to take her at sea would meet with desperate
resistance. The character of Meiggs is known
to be one of prompt decision when in slight
place." and il is presumed that rather than be
taken alive and brought TO this port, he would
destroy himself The only object, then, in
overhauling the vessel, would be to get the
money from on board.
Mr.. Meiggs left his mansion, with all the fur.
hiture in It unsold, and there was nothing to
indicate but that the house was occupied.
Even his wife's canary birds in the cages were
left behind. Meiggs was president of the San
Francisco Loan Accommodating Fund Society,
and great confidence was placed in his judg-
ment by the members. Many Of the employees
Of the California Lumber Company, at Mendo
cino, had allowed their wages to be retained
by him, and by his fight are defrauded to a
large amount. He had considerable property
in place named "Meiggsville," short dis
lance up the coast, which bis creditors will, we
presume, take care Of.
1t seems that there were some few debts
which Meiggs had the conscience to pay before
his departure. He had in his hands some
$1,000 belonging TO youth in Page, Bacon
d Co.'S Office, who has widowed mother de-
pendent upon him. This he paid the day be-
fore ne left 1t is stated, also, that sum Of
money from him was delivered, after his depar-
ture, TO firm in Montgomery street, with in.
structions TO apply it TO the liquidation of GER
tain debts of comparatively small amount.
The day before he disappeared, he is said to
have gone around town paying little bills,
ranging between ten and three hundred dol.
lars, which he owed various tradesmen.
