Captain Leland? Oh. yes. I'm glad to
say he was saved. We thought at first
that he was lost, but it appears that one OF
the boats went back for him and took him
from the wreck just in time. But I'm
sorry to tell you that two passengers

from the shock and exposure. OF course,

part is extremity broken and precipitous
| for 60 feet above the sea, with many rocky
patches uneovering close under 1t to the
westward at low water. 1t is particularly
black at night and cannot be mistaken.
This headland is the first seen by a
steamer bound southw ward after passing

On the northwest part of Point Sur Is
located a first-class lighthouse at an eleva-
ton OF go feet above the sea and fog
signal lying mile off shore. The light
house is twenty miles southwark from
Point Pnos Light, which Is the western
cape of Monterey barbor.
The shore line south of Point Sur is re-
markably high and bold, with very deep
water just outside. Under the steep cliffs
there are many hidden dangers in the long
fields of kelp which border the shore and
there are other dangers outside the kelp.

which is not marked by kelp, but generally
breakers. One mile outside of CoOpers
Point the water is twenty-five faith oms

Very foul ground is to be found three
miles southeast of the Sur and extends
even outside the limits OF the great kelp
field, which reaches out to fifteen and
eighteen fathoms of wafer. The depth
through the kelp field and along its edge is
variable. which indicates a broken bot
tom, with possibly bayonet rocks.
1t was in this locality that the steamer
Senator came very near being wrecked
years ago. One of her paddle wheels
grazed snnken rock and the vessel struck
heavily enough to cause a leak.
The records show that the ILL., fated
ste amer was wrecked in April OF 1875.
after having taken her departure from
Point Ano Nuevo. She struck on the
Ventura rocks in thick weather and was
stranded a mile to the westward under
the rocky point about halfway to the Sur.
