Under shelter of the timber it was possible that the Confederate infantry might mass for the assault; but once in the open, unaided by artillery, their further progress would be difficult. Under ordinary circumstances a thorough reconnaissance, followed by a carefully planned attack, would have been the natural course of the assailant.
'Then I shall make a reconnaissance in force myself. 'Beggin your pardon, sir, says he, don't see the force one man agin a score. 'Ah, says he, 'you forget my lady. And he whips up his Polly, and off he pops over the grass like a lad a-courtin." The old man chuckled as he told. "What's Knapp up to?" trembled the boy.
"Well, Mohun," said Stuart, who was not looking at him; "I am going to send you across the river on a reconnaissance to-night." "All right, general." And the officer made the military salute. As he did so, he staggered, and Stuart raised his eyes. "You are wounded!" he exclaimed. "A trifle," laughed Mohun.
I will ask him to have aeroplane reconnaissance made regarding the coast fortifications you mention, to see if it can be ascertained whether your informant's report is correct, but there are but few aeroplanes and the few we have are constantly required for spotting for artillery, photographing trenches, and for reconnaissances of the troops immediately engaged with us."
Instead of boldly throwing his whole force upon the small garrison and overwhelming them by sheer weight, he tried a reconnaissance, and fell into an ambuscade; upon which he incontinently abandoned all thought of a siege, and contented himself with laying waste the interior of Malta, and taking the adjacent island of Goza.
It would be a queer adventure. I conjured up an imaginary conversation in bad German with an officer in a pointed casque. Undoubtedly he would have the best of the argument. There would be a little white wall, perhaps... One of the enemy's aeroplanes flew above our heads, circled round and then disappeared. It dropped no bombs and was satisfied with its reconnaissance.
I had announced that I was going among the Indians again in order to increase my knowledge of their manners and customs; and Rayburn to whom the rest of the party was supposed to belong had stated that he was taking the field in order to make a new reconnaissance along the line of the projected railway.
"I wish we had some idea where the rest of those bombs are stored, sir," Lieutenant Morrison said. "We don't seem to have gotten anything significant when we flew reconnaissance with the radiation detectors." "No; about all that was picked up was the main power-plant, and the radiation-escape from there was normal," Pickering agreed.
Our "A" Force Command began careful reconnaissance and plans of advance. American officers and doughboys had their first experiences, of the many experiences to follow, of taking out Russian guides and from their own observations and the crude old maps and from doubtful hearsay to piece together a workable military sketch of the densely forested area.
To be sure, though, they sent out a party of reconnaissance, under the control of a good father of the Church, Fray Marcos de Nizza, a friar of the Orders Minor, commonly known as a Franciscan, with Stephen, a negro, one of the escaped party of Cabeza de Vaca, as a guide, to spy out the land.
