Neville dreams of going down with a storm-tossed ship

In a vision the night after that decision he was the young captain of a merchant cargo ship in a terrible storm; knowing the ship would go down, he strapped himself to the wheel to go down with it, and woke in his bed.

    Why Complements the existing circa-1928 claim from the same witness with the fuller two-age envelope; that row is left standing.
    Reasoning He hedges the dream's age between two explicit numbers rather than stating one; using the birth anchor (hist_event 950, 1905-02-19), age 22 spans 1927-02-19 to 1928-02-18 and age 23 spans 1928-02-19 to 1929-02-18, so the honest combined envelope is 1927-02-19 to 1929-02-18. Kept at probable, matching the existing claim's confidence, since it is a self-recalled age given decades later from the platform.
