 | | Many San Diegans remember late ruins of that Presidio chapel which stood very close to the site of the first mission building, which was described as facing the bay, its door (a piece of cloth) invitingly left open so that neighboring Indians might enter, perhaps, and receive a welcome to godliness and civilized living. |
 | | The next morning Mission San Diego was re-established on Presidio Hill in a jacal of tule, poorly constructed, formerly a warehouse. |
 | | The third California battle took place at Mission San Diego at Nipaguay Nov. 5, 1775, when a corporal, three soldiers, a carpenter, a flsmith, a priest and two boys defended their lives, though by daybreak all the mission shacks had vanished. |
