_Lieutenant Wallace_: “I would send him back to the support commander.” _The Director_: “Where would you send him, Lieutenant Ralston?” _Lieutenant Ralston_: “I am not so sure I would send him anywhere for the present. If we are to continue our reconnaissance to the front I do not figure that I would spare a man to send the horse back. In any event I would send him no farther than outguard No. 3. And I am not so sure that I would go any farther on the reconnaissance. I do not think a visiting patrol—so few men—should go very far in front of the line of observation at night.” _The Director_: “Captain Harvey, what do you think about all of this?” _Captain Harvey_: “I agree with Lieutenant Ralston. Another point that presents itself to me is this: When the support commander gets the prisoner we sent back he will probably send our section leader out with a patrol to reconnoiter the front and the sergeant will want to see me and get what information I have. The natural place for him to come first to find me will be outguard No. 3. I think I should get back there at least by the time the patrol from the support reaches there. I estimate that I could stay around here for a few minutes yet, but I would have to be getting back pretty soon.” _The Director_: “What would be your decision based on your sizing up of the situation?” _Captain Harvey_: “To send the horse back to outguard No. 3 right away. “Manley and myself would stay out here in concealment for, say five minutes longer, and then go back to the outguard by way of the sentinel post.” _The Director_: “Any member of the class that does not agree with that decision? (After waiting a moment.) There seems to be none, so we will agree to that solution of the problem.” * * * * * =Visiting Patrol= =Card No. 7= =Director’s Key= 1.
