On the voyage back he had a single cabin with two beds: his three-year-old daughter slept with her mother and he took the upper bunk for the eleven days to New York.

Why
Corroborating passage 543713 (nid 1768) independently gives 'the end of August' for the same sailing on the same-named ship; recorded as a sources_add rather than a second date claim since it agrees at the same month precision.
Reasoning
This is the ship's actual departure, not the February assumption night: the immediately preceding passages (538527-538531, same telling) place the bedroom 'assumption' act on a snowy February night in New York, then say 'time progressed... then came the month of August' before the mother's-illness cable arrived and they sailed 'the very next night' on the ship 'Argentine' in 'late August'. The existing field_date claims (d0 1941-02, d1 1941-??) both derive from passages describing that earlier February assumption act (538529 and 543712), which is this event's title ('Argentine (Ship) Voyage to Barbados') describes the voyage, not the technique -- and sibling hist_event 16704 ('Neville assumes an impossible location and is carried to its fulfillment') already shares witness 538529, confirming the February material is that separate event's territory. Independently corroborated by a second lecture, Eternal States (nid 1768, passage 543713): 'this was the end of August, and so we got aboard the American ship, the Royal McCormick, The Argentina' -- naming the same ship as the event title and sailing within a day of the cable -- and passage 543714 there states the gap from the February act to the voyage was 'eight months', which lands in August.

Source
derived from the event's own title: "Neville's 1941 imaginal Barbados scene is fulfilled eight months later"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1941 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [542140] belong to telling lecture nids [1534]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1972 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1972 is the MIN across telling lectures.

stated · refuted
Why
pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 008): This claim's witness (passage 538529) describes the February imaginal-assumption night, not the physical voyage; that material belongs to a separate event (cf. hist_event 7849), as the record's own delta2 reasoning establishes.
1941

Why
pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 008): Also part of the February snowstorm/imaginal-act telling, not the August voyage.
