Tte. Estudillo arrived the 23rd reporting 13 fishing canoes counted from the S.n Mateo esteros to S.n Bruno — up to 20 that morning, coming from the schooner at Punta de San Mateo; neophyte informants say two large ships lie between Punta de Reyes and San Antonio, confirming the frigate's incorporation reported by the interrogated Unalaska Indian. ⭐ Boys fishing on the beach at dusk found a tall pole driven into the sand with a letter addressed to Argüello: 'un tal Guillermo' [an American captain] begs him to release 'los pobres indios que tengo suyos en el presidio,' who entered the bay in ignorance and without his knowledge. Argüello, unable to establish the writer's conduct, concludes it was handed to the fishing Indians to plant; he keeps the whole coast under watch and no canoe has landed since.
