I have just returned from a small scouting expedition, and everything is favourable.

Heber Smith had been sent out with a small scouting party.

Swarms of small scouting machines were humming, spitting; these were the vipers or wasps of the air service.

This was no small scouting party.

The adventures of small scouting parties were at times even more thrilling than the battles between the Indians and the troops.

When on the march, a small scouting party was thrown in the advance to reconnoitre the country through which they were to pass.

The remainder of the month of September was employed in sending out small scouting parties, and in protecting the farmers while gathering their harvests.

There he learned from peasants, that, with the exception of a small scouting party two days before, there were no signs of any hostile force.

To come closer at this rate of speed these small scouting planes maintaining would have caused a mutual air suction that might cause a collision.
