Complains his ship was fired upon by the San Diego fort by order of Cmdte. Rodríguez (22 March 1834) after arriving 16 March for provisions & repairs, over a soldiers/contraband dispute: the fort's battery fired until the ship took considerable hull damage; the captain returned fire, then at 9:30 AM put the soldiers ashore and fled to San Quintín Bay (Baja Cal.) to repair; Rodríguez accuses him of disrespecting the flag.
