THE MISSIONS FOUNDED BY PADRE JUNIPERO SERRA San Diego Mission founded, Serra was impatient to have work begun elsewhere.

Urging the governor to go north immediately, he rejoiced when Portola, Crespi, Rivera, and Pages started, with a band of soldiers and natives.

They set out gaily, gladly.

They were sure of a speedy journey to the Bay of Monterey, discovered by Cabrillo, and seen again and charted by Vizcaino, where they were to establish the second Mission.

They found a bay which they fully described, and while we to-day clearly see that it was the bay they were looking for, they themselves thought it was another one.
