description: The Trikkala...Mined in the early hours of 5th March, 1945, 300 miles north west of Tromso, Norway, she was listed as sunk. Over a year later she was reported off the Hebrides in a gale, sending out an SOS. I'd been a year in prison and I wanted the truth. His little bloodshot eyes looked up at me with a grotesque expression, half crafty, half pleading. I wrenched at his arm again and repeated my question. 'A share of the silver,' he cried. And then in quick succession: 'It wasn't any of my business. He was the captain. It wasn't my idea, I tell you. He'd have killed me along with the rest if I hadn't done what he said. I couldn't do anything to save them. I couldn't help them. You must believe that. It was nothing to do with me.'
