Neville imagines himself aboard ship and secures passage from Barbados

Stuck in Barbados and told there was no room on the two ships servicing the island for months, he sat in his hotel room and imagined himself standing on the deck of a ship at sea, holding the rail and looking back at the island — and within hours found he was to sail on the next sailing for New York City.

    Reasoning Neville recounts the Barbados ship-visualization from the platform in this lecture, so field_told equals the lecture's delivery year. The delivery claim itself is derived arithmetic ('12 years ago' from the 1959 awakening he names in the same breath), so although the corpus records it at certain, I inherit at probable to reflect that a spoken round figure is being read as a precise year.
