Point Lobos. and then shaped their
course for the vicinity of Mile Rock, and
so into the channel and through the Gate.
Even now the peculiar cry OF these animals
is a valuable guide to mariners in times oil

done as fog signals our pilots and ship
masters protest against their being de.
stroyed, as has been advocated by fisher.
