building opposite. Although she looks
a bit modern now, you must know that,
like most of the old adobes in this town,
the original walls only remain, the rest
having been rebuilt to fulfill the re-
quirements Of the times. However,
that Is the old Golden Ball.
We'll, as l have remarked, the Ma
talie was left without a man jack to
lend a hand and when the morning
broke, after a heavy southeast night,
not a spar nor a timber was left WIS.,
ible above the water. The gritty little
ship had broken her moorings and
dragged her helpless hulk to the shall
low, shelving beach, not more than 200
yards from shore, where she foundered,
and there she lies to this day, hammer
ing her tough little teak bones on the
sandy bottom of Monterey Bay.
And she was teak built, too" said
CAPTAIN Lambert, with an honest glow
of reminiscent pride, the kind of ship
YOU don't see nowadays; solid teak and
copper fastened, with copper bolts as
heavy as the stanchions on a modern
battleship. Just walk over here with
me to Duarte's fish market. l will show
you the Natalie's rudder.
This was washed ashore, or rather
was loosened from the ship during q
heavy southeast storm last winter, and
Young Mr.. Duarte, by careful diving
and Bottom searching, secured the rud-
der and brought 1t ashore just as you
see it now. Take your penknife and
cut into the wood. See how firm the
grain is.
Now, my boy, those were the days
when they built ships to last for gener-
atoms. No iron or steel ship Of mod
ern construction could possibly have
withstood the wear and tear of fifty
five wears beneath the water and leave
p piece of this size in sight. Just no
tice the copper bolts with which she is
hraced. Why. the copper itself in that
rudder is worth $40 to-day, and her
fastenings when she was built must
have cost a small fortune. No, she was
not of the old-fashioned, round bowed,

high-pooped style that you might i'm
agine. She was rather a smart-look-
ing, trim built little brigantine. and
her lines were similar to those you
will find in the South Sea Island trade
to-day. OF course, her shrouds and
cordage were much heavier than you
see on the modern craft, as steel rig
ging was entirely unknown in her time.
But, all in all, she was a sleek, we'll
built little vessel, with a clean pair OF
heels that might have shown great
sailing qualities.
Yes, she was armed after a fashion.
She carried one bronze swivel gun for
ward and small arms, principally old
fashioned Spanish rifles and cutlasses
in brackets about the masts tween
decks. 1t would probably be worth a
divers while to make a diligent search
for that old bronze cannon, for II would
certainly bring a fair price from any
collector Of historical curiosties. No,
to my knowledge no one has ever at
tempted to rescue this rare piece Of
metal
"Oh! you need have no doubts as to
the authenticity of the ship. She Is the
same bit Of marine architecture that
carried Napoleon to France upon his
escape from Elba when he started on
his last wild rampage with the avowed
intention of changing the political ge-
ography Of the world. Had it not been
for his terrible repulse and downfall
at Waterloo, it is very probable that
the Natalie would not this day be
grinding her bleached bones beneath
the waters Of Monterey, but on the con-
trary she would be preserved by France
as the ship which had conveyed the
greatest general from exile to his
grandest victory.
Captain Bralee, another old-time
skipper, who lives in Monterey, re-
members the vessel. which was plainly
visible when he arrived there in 1914.
Captain Bralee said: II arrived in Mon
terey on Admiral Sloat's flagship the
Savannah, in 1914. We were warned by
the harbor master to beware of our an
chorage, as a Mexican revenue cutter
had been sunk and her upper works
came very near the surface. l have
looked at the old ship many times in
the last fifty years and have watched
the gradual decay of the historical old
vessel. She was undoubtedly the ship
which carried Napoleon from Elba to
France, just previous to the battle of
Waterloo.
She was a brigantine- that is. a
two asted craft, square rugged for
ward, with fore and aft sails on main
mast-something seldom seen at the
present time. She was constructed on
what might be termed modern lines.

She was considered clever little
ship in her day, and had seen service
in many parts of the world. and prob

Importance than any vessel OF which
a vestige Is left at the present time in
these waters.
II have an affection for the old hulk
