The Bag of Gold (1912)

During the year 1838 the American brig "Danube" was wrecked along the coast near San Pedro. One of the crew, Sam Prentiss, a hardy young American, managed to overcome the perils of the waves and reached the shore on a spar. Sam had carefully saved his earnings and carried a comfortable sum of gold money in his belt. He made his way to Los Angeles and after a somewhat adventurous career in that place, engaged in the fur business. He married Rafaela, daughter of Antonio Lugo, a prominent man in the growing pueblo. It was the influence of Lugo which shielded the young American when the latter's not always prudent actions were about to bring him serious trouble.
