Stephen Cline translates an 18th century letter written by Junipero Serra. The letter was intended for Father Pedro Font and greatly mimics its period language. The letter describes an adventure traveling up the coast and passing an Indian village at Rincon, where he witnesses a skilled canoesman race the entire length of a sizable point peeler.
