June 19, 1856 [SBG]: “Dr. J. B. Shaw informs us that on the 9th instant John Henry Kelty, a seaman on board the schooner Francis Skiddy, went on shore at Santa Cruz Island with the intention of bathing. His companions, thinking that he was absent a very long time, went to look for him. They found his clothes upon the bank, and after some considerable trouble, succeeded in discovering the body at the bottom of the lagoon. He was very decently buried on the following morning. Deceased was a native of Sunderland, England.”
October 9, 1856 [SBG]: “The steamer John L. Stephens, on her recent trip to San Francisco, during a thick fog, ran into the schooner Francis Skiddy, and cut her completely in two. The schooner was bound to Santa Cruz Island. The crew and passengers, with the exception of the captain, Hugh Robertson, were saved.”
