Gen. Pershing said the three men re-

who had above message in their pos
session. The wounded man was from

Meyer reports tnat the three men were
rather vague as to where they had left
Capt. Morey, but stated that on the
night of the 21st they had carried him
two miles; that Morey became weak,
could not go further and told them to
leave him. They thought he was dying
from loss of blood and lack of water.
Meyer reconnoitered twenty miles east
of Santa Maria, but found nothing. Out

shape; had to return"
1t was observed at headquarters that
Capt. Morey's note was addressed to his
immediate superior, the commanding
officer at Ojo Federico. and it is surmis-
ed that Lieut.. Meyer sent the letter to
the commanding officer at Ojo Federico,
he in turn forwarding it to Gen. PERISH

the letter apparently was not delivered
to Gen. Pershing by Lieut.. Meyer on his

hope that the return of Capt. Morey
will serve to provide the missing links
in the story of the engagement at Car
rizal and determine more completely
the exact fate of each member of the
little accommodating expedition.
Further details of the facts which
served to determine Capt Boyd's line
of action are awaited.
How Capt Morey managed to make
his way to the American column, a
distance of over eighty miles, is not
known here. but it is inferred he was
picked up by a detachment of the res
cuing force sent out by Gen. Pershing.
He was without food or water in a
desert country and it is believed his
sufferings must have been intense.
Both c. and K troops advanced, the
former to the position occupied by a
Mexican machine gun and the latter
closing in to one side. X troop also was

After the first firing K Troop. under
Capt, Morey's command, took refuge in
a nearby adobe, Maj. Jenkins reported
Realizing that they were surrounded
and outnumbered by Mexican troops he
ordered his men to leave the hut in
small detachments that their chances
of escape might be increased. Capt
Morey, himself suffering with slight
wounds, with four men, remained hid
den throughout the day in the house,
which was within two thousand yards
of the CarranZa line.
That night the party of four started
afoot in an attempt to make their way
back to the expeditionary command.
However. Capt Morey soon became so
weak from loss of blood that he was
unable to walk, and, believing he was
dying. he ordered his men to leave him
and save themselves.
This they did, but shortly the wound
ed officer managed to rally enough
strength to crawl to the ranchhouse
of an American named McCabe, living
about nine miles from Carrizal
Maj. Jenkins reported that he had
house and that his wounds were not
dangerous. Upon the receipt of the
dispatch, Gen. Pershing said forty-three
members of the command engaged had
been accounted for and that one other
is known to be alive. but is lost in the
desert The remainder of the eighty
four men who made up the detachment
