ranzista forces near Carrizal, sat on
the edge of his bunk in the matched
hut that is the headquarters of the
American forces, and told an atten-
tive group Of fellow officers the de-
tails of the first real tragedy Of this
campaign.
Captain Morey had spent the night
in the hospital after his arrival here
by automobile late Sunday afternoon.
Today with his blood-stained shirt
removed and his body refreshed and
cleaned, he was able to be about
camp with his left shoulder, through
which a mauser bullet passed, swath-
ed in bandages.
He first visited General Pershing,
then visited the regiment in what
will probably be one of the most re-
markable reunions Of the campaign.
AS he walked through the company
streets, thanked by tents and curious
ly woven brush huts, quarters that
men and officers have built, there was
10 cheering, no music. but from each
group he passed, some officer with
eager face, stepped forth and grasped
Captain Morey's unnamed hand, e1-
claiming glad you're back. Con
gratulations'' Those were simple
words, but they were fervent, for no
man Of this command believed Cap
tain Morey would ever be with them
again.
Captain Morey told his story slow
ly, with superb restraint and modesty.
He blamed no one, drew no conclus-
ions and offered no hindsight sug-
igestions as to what should have
been done.
He added little to the tale Of the
fight except to say that Captain Boyd
and Lieutenant Henry Adair died
like gentlemen and soldiers and that
in the firing that followed the Mex
ican attack, the Carranzistas seemed
to be centering their fire on the
white soldiers.
