Synopsis
Excerpt from Official Programme and Souvenir: Ninth September Meeting, San Francisco, 1890
After a few days' rest, the governor, leaving behind about forty men all told, marched northward, taking with him Captain Rivera, Sergeant José Francisco Ortega, a most useful officer, with twenty-six soldados de cuera, Lieutenant Pages with six or seven of his Catalans, - all that the scurvy had left alive or fit for duty, Costanso the cos mographer, Fathers Crespi and Gomez, and a few servants and Indians. On arrival in sight of Punta de Pinos, the expeditionists saw from_a hill a wide entrance and mistook it for one that Cabrera Bueno's map placed between Punta de Afio Nuevo and Punta de Pinos, and thus missed the port they were looking for. In their subsequent endeavors to find it, from Point San Pedro, Point Reyes was descried on the 3oth of October; and the camp was pitched at the southern end of the Ensenada de los Farallones, from whence Sergeant Ortega went to explore the region of Point Reyes. Some of his soldiers from the northern hills beheld the great Bay of San Francisco. Ortega is entitled to the credit of being the first white man who explored the peninsula on which stands the great city of San Francisco. The Indians had a tradition that the Golden Gate at one time was an isthmus, and that the natural outlet of the Bay of San Francisco was through the Santa Clara valley to Monterey Bay.
