Further, during a great portion of this patrol, when the SCAMP was employed on a scouting line, he conducted a determined and thorough search for enemy vessels, thereby contributing materially to the success of Allied operations in the Solomon Islands.

His conduct during this patrol was a continuation of his illustrious record, and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."
