_José Argüello, Commandant, to Governor Arrillaga_ San Francisco, June 25, 1805 (Prov. St. Pap., Benicia, Military, XXXIII: 251-252) This letter is accompanied by the report of the expedition, a report made by Second Lieutenant Luís Argüello. The latter on his mission, which occupied him thirty-two days, traversed "all the ranges of San José and Santa Clara as far as opposite the sheep ranch, scouting all the rivers, plains and tule swamps without having found any sign of wild Indians...."[4] Second Lieutenant Argüello set out on the expedition with twenty-two men and returned on the 15th of July bringing with him twenty-two Indian renegades (thirteen Christians and 9 heathen). On the trip he visited the village of the celebrated Joscoui[5] and captured everyone except this chieftain.[6] Among the heathen captives there were six who were in part guilty of the murder of George the Christian. Having been solicited, all the prisoners were baptized and distributed to the ministers of San José and Santa Clara. It was recommended that these Fathers moderate the punishment given to the six [mentioned above]. III. EXPEDITIONS BY ZALVIDEA AND MORAGA, 1806-1807 The year 1806 was notable for the important recorded expeditions of Zalvidea and Moraga. The report of the first of these is translated herewith. FATHER ZALVIDEA'S EXPEDITION, 1806 _Report of an expedition to the interior by Father José Maria de Zalvidea_ From 19 July to 14 August of 1806 (Santa Barbara Arch., IV: 49-68) _Saturday, July 19, 1806._ The expedition left Santa Barbara in order to carry out the orders of the Governor contained in his official letter of the 10th of this month. On the morning of this day we left Santa Barbara and in the afternoon arrived at the mission of Santa Ynez. _July 20._ This day, after Mass, we left Santa Ynez, going toward the north. At three leagues we reached the remains of the village called Jonatas; after another three leagues from this village there is the village of Saca whose Indians are Christians of Santa Ynez. At five leagues from this village we came upon another, called Olomosong, consisting of three houses. In this village there are living 2 old women and 4 young women with the chief. Here I baptized 2 old women, one of eighty years, the other of seventy. To the first I gave the name of Maria Dominga and to the second Maria Geronima.
