NAPoLEoN'S BRIG.
Discovery of the Wreck of the Vessel That
Took Him From EIba.

Took Him From EIba.
On the steamer Eureka. which ar
rived from the southern coast recent
ly were two passengers from Monterey
named George Baker and John Roach.
Both are divers, and the story of their
latest exploit in Monterey is, if true.
strange indeed. The men left here in
the schooner Rose Sparks to work on
the wreck of the Ventura, which went
ashore some months ago near Point
Sur, a distance of about twenty-six
miles below Monterey. They put into
Monterey to get supply of powder.
and while anchored in the bay the dis
covery was accidentally made that
they were just over the wreck of some
vessel. Baker and Roach donned their
living suits. and were at first little
gratifed at their discovery, there be-
ing but little left of the vessel to ex-
plore.
They kept digging away at the re-
mains, however, and soon had the sat
isfaction of seeing considerable copper
and iron piled up on the deck of the
Rose Sparks When the news of find
ing the wreck spread to the town of
Monterey boats of nearly every de-
scription put off to the schooner. and
the men were surrounded by French
men of all ages and sizes. who had
lived in Monterey for years, and many
of whom remembered the vessel
well. She was brigantine.
they said, and went into
port on fire in 1884. All hands aban-
doned her. the Frenchman said. and
We're fortunate enough to escape.
What made the wreck precious in the
eyes of the natives of France, they said
was the fact that although when lost
she was sailing under the Mexican
flag, she was in reality the vessel
which bore Napoleon from his exile on
the Isle of Elba to France.
The vessel on which the Emperor
and his friends sailed from Elba was a
brig and was called the Inconstant.
Be this as it may, nothing can shake
the faith Of the old residents of Mon
terey from the belief that the Natalia
is the original vessel. Those who
were rich enough to purchase small
bits Of copper and iron from Baker did
so, and others begged so hard that
they were given small specimens,
which they carried away in delight
and will no doubt treasure as relics of
the once loved and great Emperor.
They account for the change of name
by the fact that the vessel was sold to
the Mexican Government. San Fran
