	California Missions - San Buenaventura
		Of course San Buenaventura felt all the alarm experienced by the other coast settlements at the time of Bouchard's attacks, and Padre Seflan, with neophytes and guards, fled from the Mission to the canyada of New Purisima, where a temporary church was erected, and where they remained twenty-four days.
		That San Buenaventura was prosperous is shown by the fact that in June, 1820, the government owed it $27,385 for supplies ; $6200 in stipends, and $1585 for a cargo of hemp, — a total of $35,170, which, says Bancroft, " there was not the slightest chance of ever receiving."
		Before leaving San Buenaventura it may be interesting to note that a few years ago I was asked about two " wooden bells " which were said to have been hung in the tower at this Mission.

	HISTORIC EARTHQUAKES: effects in Ventura County
		The San Buenaventura Mission, which had been damaged in the 1812 earthquakes, was again severely damaged by the 1857 earthquake.
		Mission San Buenaventura: December 21, 1812; Mission seriously damaged; Bell Tower partially collapsed; Padre Señan, head of Mission wrote "-sea was greatly stirred up by the tremors in such a way that the waters might flood the Mission-" January 9, 1857: Roof caved.
		As La Purisima and San Fernando Missions are 116 miles apart, the implications of such widespread damage are that either or both of these individual earthquakes were very large, even considering that the construction of the missions was primitive.
