that on that night of November IL 1892,
he came to anchor in front of the site If
the present city. where most any NOvem-
her night nowadays he would have no
difficulty In seeing "a town and the lights"
he then vanly looked for.
Thursday morning, November 15 1892,
discovered our anchorage to be within
three-fourths Of 2 mile from shore. The
herds OF cattle and sheep grazing on the
surrounding hills were sight we had long
been strangers to, and brought to our
minds MANY pleasing reflections. These
indicated that the residences of their pro-
priet0rs could not be far remote, though
we could perceive neither habitations u or
inhabitants.
''On hoistng the coIors at sunrise gun
was fired, and in little time afterward
several people were seen Oh horseback
coming from behind the hills down to the
beach, who waved their hats and made
other signals fnr a boat. and later i was
favored with the good company of a priest
of the order of ST. Francis and a SER
geant in the Spanish army To breakfast.
From these gentlemen / learned that
the station we had taken was far within
the general anchoring place of the Span
iSh vesseis-when tile light was shown and
the guns fired the preceding night on the
beach near the entrance into the port"

The shoal he refers TO is well known on
coast survey charts as 'the four-fathom

Monday, 18th of November, 1892. he says:
Being near the signed situation of the

MADE HIM MAD.
The MOntSerrat'S Captain
and His Crew.
He Threatens to Discharge Them All
for Smuggling Opium From
British Columbia.

Captain Blackburn of the Hawaiian
steam collier. the Montserret. was at the
Custom-house yesterday threatening to
discharge his entire crew, and particularly
his first officer.
The trouble with the captain was that
three of his men had been arrested for
smuggling and they were caught in the act
Of attempting TO land a considerable guam
titv Of opium.
The Montserrat brings coal down from
Nanaimo, B. c.. as her regular cargo, and
frequently some opium comes along with
the coal.
Last Tuesday evening she arrived from
British Columbia. and after transferring
most of her coal to the Belgic, she steamed
over tn the Union Iron works with the re-
mainder.
While at the Potrero the smugglers con-
cluded to land their contraband. and that
was how ii came about that Night Inspec-
tor Charles A. Mau, just as he reported for
duty on Friday, caught julius Dreschner
and Peter Frances, two of the ships crew.
in the act of transferring the drug from
the steamer.
The men had been at work washing the
sides of the vessel, using a small boat for
the purpose. The opportunity to dump
forty-three tins of opium in a sack into
the BOAT presented ltselI, anQ tney aValled
themselves of il. They rowed over to
Hunters Point, and there Mau arrested
DreschneT, who got out of the boat with
the drug. AS Frances was already rowing
back to the steamer, the inspector, by
moving rapidly, reached the vessel in time
to arrest him also. Another man, Alex
ander Gregg. was taken in, but only on
suspicion, and he was ultimately allowed
to go.
Dreschner lost his presence Of mind
when the officer took him in charge, and
when asked where the rest OF the opium
was replied that it was on board the ship.
Yesterday Collector Wise Instituted a
rigid examination Of the Montserrat, and
Surveyor Kilburn set his searchers to
work McGinnes and Ahern found twelve
more tins in the ships bunkers. Two Tins
had been found On her by inspector Me-
Kenna the day before. and the same officer
also got two tins in the pilot-house Of the
Belgic.
This is why Captain Blackburn was
threatening to discharge his crew.
Commissioner Heacock fixed the bonds
of Dreschner and Frances at $1,000 each in
default OF which they are confined in jail.
Another ingenious combination of
''lock" and dummy block. like that de-
scribed in yesterdays CALL, was discoy-
cred by the customs officers on the Empire
yesterday. 1t was better piece of work
maDship and its button was mostly of
wood. The dummy block concealed a
hole in the outside of the ships hull, near
the stern, but when pulled out no opium
was found. 1t was very convenient
place. though. for smuggler's purpose.

Nor was his lady less assiduOGs in her
attention.
Not without much disappointment was
our curiosity satisfied concerning the
Spanish town and settlement of st. Fran
cisco. Instead of finding country toler-
ably well inhabited and far advanced In
ciyilization-if we except its natural pas
lures, the herds of cattle and ti0cks of
sheep, there is not an object to indicate
the most remote connection with any
European or other civilized nation.
"'rhe next day, being Sunday, was ap-
pointed for my visiting the mission. The
distance from the Preside is about a
league. Our ride was rendered unpleasant
by the soil being loose and sandy and by
the road being very much incomm oCed BY

cattle. The building of the mission
formed two sides OF a square only and did
not appear as if intended at any future
time to form a perfect quadrangle like the
Preside. The architecture and materials
seemed, however. nearly TO correspond"
Later the officers OF the Discovery
visited Santa Clara mission, and the record
sas: "Our journey was estimated at IS
leagues (54 miles, in which distance the
country afforded no house, hut or any
place of shelter except such as the spread
ing trees afforded"
