Sir John Milkington

In the novel Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, Sir John Milkington is mentioned. He is a well-known yachtsman. He had been injured in an accident, while sailing the Astradora. This accident combined with the tragic death of the yachts designer and the suspected suicide of John Savage, made some people believe that the boat was unlucky.
