        Nice story but, being a con man, he could have made the whole thing up as a story to take the stowaway's mind off their plight. He was an Englishman, after all.

          Sorry about that, I got it mailed to me, in Dutch, nicely in black-on-white (black-on-offish-white actually). You want a copy? :)

            "The ingenious British con artist behind it, Piers Morgan, never got to enjoy the fruits of his master scam, as he drowned in the icy North Atlantic." Wishful thinking. He calls him "Piers Mason" in the rest of the article.

              Well spotted. Being a true British con man, he must have switched identities and survived. :)
