FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 1: Sierra de Santa Lucia.]

[Footnote 2: Audiencia, the highest judicial body.]

[Footnote 3: The system of encomienda conferred feudal rights upon the
discoverers. The Indians became vassals of Spanish lords.]

[Footnote 4: Vizcaino says he set out on the discovery of the coast of the South
Sea with two ships, a lancha, and a barcoluengo. A lancha was a small
vessel having no deck and but one mast, and propelled by sweeps. Vanegas
calls the vessel a fragata. A barcoluengo, or barcolongo, was a long
open boat.]

[Footnote 5: The second voyage of Vizcaino is of particular interest to
Californians for the reason that the names given by him to the various
geographical features of the coast still remain. The particulars of the
first voyage are taken largely from the publications of the Southern
California Historical Society of documents in the Sutro collection.]

but is found on all of the old ones. It is the foot of H street where
the cars for the Coronado ferry turn on to the wharf.]

study of original documents and power of analysis make him perhaps the
greatest authority on early California History; but I am nevertheless
prepared to maintain my position.]
