55th Company, 11 Regiment.
Jinotega, Nicaragua.
24 February, 1928.

Patrol Report.
 
   Patrol No. 8, 30 enlisted marines 55th Company, 3 enlisted marines 14th Company, Lieutenant Sheibler commanding left Jinotega and patroled 11 miles to north as far as Sisle, total distance covered 22 miles.

   No evidence of the presence of outlaws noticed. Information received from natives along route and in Sisle indicated that a band of about seventy men under Ferrera [Miguel Angel Ortez] had passed northeast from Yucapuca thru Sisle and San Antonio and that that morning they were about five (5) miles north east of San Antonio.

   Weather clear; roads good; natives friendly and seemed to be going about their regular work.

/s/ P.A. SHEIBLER
2nd Lieut. U.S.M.C.

127/220/5

Summary & Notes:

•   24 Marines out for one day in zone north of the town of Jinotega; again, just getting the lay of the land.
•   Natives report nearby band of 70 EDSN under Ferrera (Miguel Angel Ortéz).  Unlikely since Ortéz rarely ventured into Jinotega or outside the Western Segovias & the adjacent Honduran borderlands.

•   No native guide; how did they communicate with "natives along route"?  Probably not very well.
