Commenting on this statement, the Alta Californian of October 9, 1861, says: We learn from other sources that LYNCH was formerly a sportsman in San Francisco, and left here about a year ago on the Nor'wester. For several years he was in command of a steamer on this coast.
The Neva is a small schooner of 60 or 70 tons, formerly a pleasure yacht on the coast of China, and said to be a pretty fast sailer. Some are of the opinion that she is intended only to rob China men along the coast, as she was too small to carry any large gun.. ALLEN is in command of the Neva.
