San Francisco. for repairs.
AN lndiap padded out to the ship In
a canoe. He scattered feathers on the
water AMI went through lot Of pun

found out the intent Of the natives.
The one Indian went back to shore.
Then. to quote from Chaplain Fletcher:

Drake tried to give presents IN re-

quickly. He took only an old cooked
hat which some suii0r hud thrown
