“ I arrived in San Francisco from Valparaiso on a sailing ship after a very hard and perilous trip. The provisions having given out, we had only one meal a day and scarcely any fresh water, everything being cooked in the ocean's water. On arriving, my parents rented a one room shanty for which they paid one hundred a month. When we lighted a fire, we had to sit outside until it was started. The home was located on Battery near Vallejo. ”
