Went to search for vessel reported 10 miles off having exploded, but on our way out vessel disappeared. Saw another steamer on fire and met destroyer which asked us to look out for boat with survivors. Searched for some time and returned to destroyer who reported boat had been picked up and survivors had been rescued so we returned to our station.
