          Obituary

          ====================================
          San Mateo County Gazette
          January 4, 1868
          ====================================
          TERRIBLE - C. E. LONG CAPSIZED AND ALL ARE LOST
          It becomes our duty to record one of the most distressing casualties that has ever occurred in this vicinity. On Monday morning 1st, the sloop C. E. Long left San Francisco for this place under command of Capt. David Jenkins, her owner, having on board George, his only son, 13 years old, Charles Boyd, brother of Mrs. S. H. Snyder, and Fred Littlejohn, aged 17 years, all residents of Redwood City. A strong southerly wind was blowing throughout the day which terminated in a gale towards dark, and the last time the Long was seen on that day was about 4:o'clock p.m., by the sloop Young America, nearly opposite Redwood City. At that time the Long was making stretches nearly across the bay in beating up against the head wind. The Young America cast anchor and the men went below, as the sea was breaking over so as to make it uncomfortable and unsafe to remain
          on deck, and of course they were not in a position to see what became
          of the Long.
          The next morning a vessel was soon on her beam ends floating in the bay, and from the fact that the Long had not arrived here, it was at once suspected that the capsized vessel was the Long, which of course created a great deal of anxiety and excitement in the town. The sloop Roman, Capt. Minner, put out about noon for the wreck, having on board Sheriff Lathrop and several others. The Roman overhauled the wreck about 3 o'clock, and found it to be the Long, but found no one aboard, and being unable either to right her up or tow her into port, she returned to Redwood City, arriving about midnight. The next morning (the 25th) the sloop Young America, with a large crew, besides Sheriff Lathrop, started out with a view of overhauling
          the Long and bringing her into port, and if possible to recover the bodies of those lost. The weather, however was so extremely boisterous that the America did not venture out of the mouth of the creek until the morning of Thursday, by which time the Long had drifted down abreast o' San Mateo. the America reached the wreck about noon, and in a short time had her righted up and along side, when she was towed up to the shell banks and all hands act to work pumping and bailing her out, hoping that some of the bodies might be found in the cabin, but in this they were disappointed.
          The America arrived at Redwood City with the Long during Thursday night. She is but little injured, and probably one hundred dollars will cover the damages, She was found with her sales set, with mast and sails lying flat on the water. It is only a matter of conjecture as to how she was capsized, but it is presumed that it occurred when tacking. No tidings whatever have so far been received of any one of those who were on board, and it
          becomes certain that they must have all met a sudden death. By this sad calamity three families have been caused to mourn the loss of dear and valued relatives. The blow falls especially heavy on the family of Captain Jenkins, who leaves a worthy wife and three children all daughters, to mourn his untimely death. Capt. Jenkins was among our most respected
          citizens, and his afflicted widow and family have the warmest sympathies of the entire community.
          It is thought that the disaster occurred near the Alameda shore, and that the bodies may go ashore somewhere on the other side of the bay. The Alameda Gazette and Oakland News will please notice the fact, and request any one discovering dead bodies to communicate the fact to this office.

          Obituary

          "San Mateo County Gazette" (Redwood City, California)
          March 4, 1865 (Saturday)

          "Painful Accident. An accident occurred near Belmont, in this County, on Monday last, February 27th, which resulted in the death of the eldest son of Mr. David Jenkins. The deceased went out upon the hills to catch a mule belonging to his father, which he did, and the animal being hard to manage, he tied the rope around his body, when the animal taking fright, ran away, dragging the boy after him. When rescued, life was entirely gone, and the body was very much mangled. Mr. Jenkins is one of our oldest and best citizens. The deceased was much idolized by his parents, who feel the deepest grief at his loss."
