I suspect AR enjoyed setting riddles. The six in SA, to most readers at the time, would be the Swallows and Amazons, and readers would look no further, giving the book a touch of verisimilitude. Just one of those little details that gave rise to so much 'Are they real?' speculation.

That certainly summarises my thoughts when I first read it long ago. The "six" increased the fascination by making the S&As seem more real.
