"Yes, I agree that we should move the force along at once. With a force of this size, 'at once' will probably mean a delay of at least half an hour, and even then they will not get very far during the first hour of march. Why don't we instruct our junior officers to call a halt after an hour's march? Then we could investigate some here begining immediately. That would give us about two hours before we are required to provide additional direction to our men. Surely we can find any clues here that we are likely to find at all in the space of two hours, and if we finish a bit early, so much the better because we can resume our positions and, hey, we'll get to rest, too!"
