From the Journals of Alf Doten
San Francisco, California October
16, 1849
"Sunday morning foggy, so thick we could not see the land, we stayed anchored all
day. After dinner, two men in a small boat pulled their boat to us and boarded. They were
a coupld of fisherman employed in supplying the market of San Francisco with fish. They
were lost in the fog and were trying to find a harbour when they saw us. One of them was
Mr. Horton formerly of Boston, Mass, and the other was the celebrated Dr. Vaughn, the
inventor and proprietor of Vaughn’s Vegtable Lithontriptic mixture. They have been up to
the mines digging for gold but not liking the fun very well they took to fishing.
