TeL Copyright) (Received August 19, 1 p.m.) LONDON, August 18 The appreciation of the Admiralty and the officers and men of the Royal Navy has been expressed of the courageous action of the Portuguese destroyer Dao in making repeated successful searches for the survivors of the British vessel Fame, which, outward bound in baUast and sailing independently, was torpedoed without warning off the Azores on August 12. The Dao’s first search failed to locate the lifeboats, but later one boat containing 15 men arrived at the Azores.
The Dao thereupon carried out a further search and rescued 30 of the missing men who had been seen in two lifeboats.
