Then the Fanny was raised, her stern once more secured, herhold freed from water, her masts stepped, two of them passing directlythrough the steamer, her rigging and sails supplied, and out of Passama-quoddy she sailed round The Horn to San Francisco. Arrived there, the same process was carried out for the removal of thesteamer, which, reconstructed, sailed for years the Sacramento river, thefirst river steamer in California waters.
