It was regarded as possible that he might attack either of three points on the coast, Cabo Gracias, | near the Honduran frontier; Puerto Cabezas or Rio Grande. It was thought that a raid on Cabo Gracias was the more likely since its more or less isolated position made it the safer port to attack. A marine corps scouting plane was fired on about 50 miles north- east of Jinotega. The plane was not hit and the pilot reported seeing only four men in the attacking par-| ty.
