Excerpt from History of Oregon Territory: It Being a Demonstration of the Title of These United States of North America to the Same On his return to Mexico, the following year, he learned that during his absence, he had been superseded in the government by Don Antonio de Mendoza. Still possessing the right, however, as admiral of the South Sea, to prepare and dispatch vessels on the Pacific, he determined to en gage in another expedition to the north, in hopes of retrieving his for tunes. Therefore, recalling the colonists from Santa Cruz, he fitted but three ships for the expedition, and gave the command of them to Fran cisco de Ulloa. This expedition was the last made by the authority of Cortez. Ulloa left Acapulco in July, 1539, and after losing one of his ships in a storm, sailed with the others to the harbor of Santa Cruz; having explored the Gulf of California, and sailed round Cape San Lucas, he proceeded on the western coast as far as latitude 30� north.
