grievance against the Russians of Ross: they gravely harm the mission by sheltering fugitive Indians (advising them to hide when reclaimed); the Ross commander has grown so bold he sends Kodiak Aleuts (*Codiacas*) to the Ranchería de Tamales to lure away the neophytes (married men abandon their families); the Russians buy cattle stolen from the mission and hold much stock bearing the mission's brand — 'suficientes para prever las fatales consecuencias'
