Relief patrol to Daryli
[Darailí], report of. |
1. At 2310, 27 February, upon orders
from the Commanding Officer M.D. Yali, I
cleared Yali with patrol consisting of
twenty four enlisted marines, one
enlisted navy and two native guides for
the scene of the ambush of Lieut.
O'Day's train near the ranch Daryli
about 17 miles S.W. [NW] Yali, to render
any assistance which might be needed
there. At 0315 28 February on account of
darkness and lack of familiarity with
the terrain I halted the patrol. At 0520
I proceeded and at 0805 upon my arrival
reported to Lieut. O'Day at the aid
station, offering the services of my
patrol. Having accomplished its mission,
the patrol rested, had breakfast, and at
0955 cleared for Yali (with exception of
one private from Lieut. O'Day's train
and guides), and . . . [second page
