An incoming trawler reports having encountered on Tuesday morning a German seaplane, No.549, afloat with a broken screw. The two occupants asked to be towed to a point six miles from the coast, and while the seaplane was thus being towed they came on board the trawler.
After a couple of hours two other German seaplanes approached. One flew off to get assistance, and the other took up one occupant of the wrecked seaplane. After some time the seaplane which had flown away returned with another, which then took up the second man of the disabled seaplane, which eventually sank.
