When you posted in demon.local your vivid description of how your novel 
"Those In Peril" was almost never written, you claimed the story was based 
on the "Atlantis" incident and definitely *NOT* on the "Laconia" incident.

*You* said that.

When you were asked exactly which incident your book *was* based on you 
posted this link:

In my humble opinion it all boils down to the fact that you wished to place 
some sort of historical value on your novel. There was no need: as a retired 
sailor I thought your book quite good when I read it and I even recognised a 
lot of the details from history, such as the U-boat Captain caught in the 
bath on the auxiliary cruiser when the British attacked. (Wikipedia also 
says that though more serious sites suggest the U-boat commander was 
consulting about supplies such as fuel, stores, etc.)

Why have you *now* introduced the "Laconia" into the equation when you so 
long ago insisted your story had absolutely nothing to do with the 
"Laconia"?
