"We are to take position a mile and a half south-west of the advanced line, and there wait to protect, if necessary, the Navy aviators, who are going out soon on a scouting flight.

At the same time, we are to keep a lookout for the appearance of one of the airships that the Huerta forces are supposed to possess.

If we see one, we are to try to get it with the machine guns or rifles.

And here is a piece of news that may interest you youngsters.

If requested by either of the Navy aviators, I am to allow one of my junior officers to go up in the airship to help with the preparation of field notes to be used in making a military map.
