Considering the report of the pilot, it should not be that surprising that victory was considered probable and no He 115 was lost (according to Les Hydravions de la Luftwaffe Vol. 2).

Sorry, but no He 115 or any similar seaplane was reported shot down on that date or the day before or the day after.
