[edit] Original research?
The full text of the first paragraph of the synopsis was originally this (the removed portion is in italics):
The story is told from the first person perspective of an American Naval officer at the onset of World War I. In the tale, the unnamed narrator finds the ship he is serving on overtaken by a German man-o-war. The sailor escapes on a lifeboat and sails aimlessly across the sea until he eventually comes upon an unnamed black, murky islet. (Note: Some consider this island to be Y’ha-nthlei, a city mentioned in a companion story, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". However, Y’ha-nthlei is implied to be located off Devils Reef, Innsmouth which is off the coast of New England, whilst the narrator of the tale in Dagon is adrift in the Pacific Ocean.)
I removed the Note portion because it contains dubious information. What published source makes this claim? (Besides, Y’ha-nthlei is supposed to be an underwater city!)
