Los Robles, Nicaragua,
28 March 1928.
PATROL REPORT:
I left Los Robles at 0830, March 27,
1928, with Lieutenant Piper and 24
enlisted, Marine Corps, and proceeded
via SAN ESTEBAN, TOMAYUNCA, BOCADERO
[Embocadero], to GUALE, and return.
It was learned that the herd of cattle
seen by plane on Sunday, belonged to
Serapio Palacio [Serapio Palacios] of
Jinotega, and were being moved from the
plains to his potero [potrero] near
BOCADERO. This information was furnished
by the Jefe de Cantonment [juez de
canton] of LOS CEDRAS [Los Cedros] (near
BROCADERO), and by two other habitants,
who stated that the plans [planes] flew
low over this herd Sunday, while it was
passing north through TOMAYUNCA. Serapio
Palacio's presence in Jinotega was
reported so he could not be questioned,
but the herd was observed by the
undersigned grazing in the proteras near
BROCADERO.
It was reported to me that two different
inhabitants that about eight SANDINISTAS
foraged SANTA MARIA VALLEY on 25
March.The people at GUALE, which is a
coffee finca, stated that this was not
true, but I am inclined to believe that
the people at this finca are
sympathizers and were giving false
information, the western end of the
PANTASMA VALLEY is called SANTA MARIA as
far east as GUALE.
The road to GUALE is in very good
condition at present, being practically
dry to the YALI divide, and passable for
pack animals on the north slope. It has
improved very materially in the past few
weeks.
Inquiry at GUALE elicited the
information that the CAMINO REAL to
QUILALI passes straight north across the
valley, thence across another range to
the Coco River.
