NOTE: According to Oscar Lewis, auther of "Sea Routes to the Gold Fields," the Pacific's master was Capt. Tibbets. "Captain Tibbet's despotism, his brutal treatment of the crew, and his callous disregard for the welfare of his passengers were such that the entire company reached Rio determined to square accounts with him." The American Consul in Rio, Mr. Gordon Parks, removed Capt. Tibbets of his command and replaced him with Capt. Estherbrook.

“The celebrated Kit Carson, and Moses, the Texas Ranger, will conduct a company to California from Independence, in April next. This offers a fine chance for those desiring to go over the Rocky Mountains safely.”

[From the New Orleans Crescent, Jan. 13.]

“In the general rush to California, we find that many very respectable and enterprising young men are about taking their departure. In fact, the larger portion of the emigration seems to be composed of that class which will certainly confer great benefits upon the country. A party of seven young men arrived yesterday from Illinois, on the Andrew Fulton, bound for San Francisco, by the way of Chagres and Panama. They will leave on the bark Florida. The names are:

Bradford, John S.
Cook, _.
Eaton, _.
Mizner, (L. ?). B.
Norse, _.
O’Meara, _.
Roberts, H.Q.

“Mr. Mizner is a step-son of ex-Senator Semple, of Illinois, and a gentleman, from his intelligence and enterprising character, well calculated to make a valuable citizen in any community.”
