The Indians (and the entire Indian population at that time amounted to 22,000) were exceedingly glad to welcome the strangers, much better behaved than those found at San Diego, who stripped the clothing from those too ill to defend themselves.

Perhaps a reason for this superiority may be found in the fact that these tribes were entirely naked, and had no desire for any conventional covering.

They serenaded their new friends so loudly that sleep or rest was impossible, and offered their most delicious food and free use of canoes.

They ate seeds, fruit, fish, locusts; hunted rabbit, hare, and deer; dried the meat of the latter on trees; placed acorns in a sieve basket, rinsed and boiled them.
