Leppert blacksmith. took advantage of the opportunity Wading out into the water he the sands slowly were covering the timbers and realized that by morning there probably would be trace of the vessel in sight He returned to his shop got jackscrew and a crowbar and enlisted the aid of three friends. The four worked until nearly midnight with the high tide about their shoulders and necks. before they succeeded in forcing loose the lockwood stumps of the Natalie.
 Finally they assembled the beach eleven knees. four large timbers. 1s copper bolts, and smaller parts of the vessel. A remarkable feature the perfect preservation of the copper bolts which showed signs of corrosion after the tides of century had washed them. The men re- ported that other portions of the Natalie were too deeply embedded to be removed.
 The Natalie blown ashore here in 1883 when the crew. gang of smugglers from Mexico abandoned her attend a Cascarone ball at Mont erey, As the crew danced at the old Spanish fiesta. storm and the vessel was beached.
 She subsequently dismantled and a part of her timber used to build the Abrego house in Monterey. Her bow is in the H. M. de Young Memorial museum in Golden Gate Park, San Fran cisco.
