Adam,

I believe Chris Goss is quite right. It was a No.220 Squadron Hudson that attacked the He115s of 2./KüFlGr.506 only to be engaged in turn by the escort Bf110 of 4./ZG76. What Oberlt Münnich the Beobachter aboard S4+CK must have seen go into the sea was actually the Bf110 M8+GM of Fw Arthur Hering and Gefr Heinz Ulrich. What I find interesting is the possibly telling remark in the KTB that after searching the area for wreckage and survivors without success the He115 completed its assignment ‘without further fighter protection’. As far as I am aware the Hudson returned undamaged.
