* REPORTED RESCUE OF CREW CONFIRMED. MINISTRY OF INFORMATION EXPLAINS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 27. The Ministry of Information confirms the report that 32 survivors of the Royal Sceptre were landed at Bahia by the Browning. The Ministry’ explains that as no wireless message was received and as almost three weeks had passed without news it had to be assumed that the crew of the Royal Sceptre had perished. Relatives’ inquiries, therefore, had been answered to that effect. The nine wounded members of the crew, four of whom are in hospital, are remaining at Bahia and the rest of the crew is proceeding to Rio de Janeiro.
