I have 110 record of children. Capt. Hinckley was a handsome, jovial, intelligent man, immensely popular with the natives, somewhat reck less in the use of his tongue when under the influence of liquor. If there was anything he liked better than contraband trade it was probably practical joking. Some of his jokes, like the one of Christinas night at S. Juan in 37, are not exactly adapted to print; and for others space is lacking; but I may note how, in an interview with Gov. Alvaradoon matters of state, he disposed of an over-inquisitive secretary who came in too often to snuff the candle, by filling the snuffers with powder; also how Gen. Vallejo avenged himself for some prank by mounting H. on a bear-hunting horse at Sonoma. The horse made it very lively for the mariner, who returned on foot with tales of en counters with grizzlies not wholly credited by the listeners. Hinds (R.
