<HTML>Hi Don.

Thank you very much for that post. Well-detailed information there. I wonder if the one survivor survived the war too. I would really like to hear his side of the story. From having read the stuff about Captain Gallery, it seems he was a bit of an instigator of issues :-) Interesting fellow.

Henke, did what every commander did under normal war routines. One question though, why 5 torpedoes?? The ship was crumbled enough. If his range was close (which I assume it must have been), Henke would have either seen or known about the passengers scrambling to get off. But then again, the rough sees would have made that difficult.

Anyway, thanks again Don, great info and a pleasure to read.

My best wishes to you,

Fin</HTML>
