The steamship company could only give Neville third-class sleeping accommodation; Abdullah refused to accept it, saying he had already gone first class, and on the morning of sailing the ticket agent announced a cancellation that put him in a first-class cabin.

"the morning it sailed on the 6th of December", told in All Imagination Lecture (nid 3963)
6 December 1933
stated · probable
Why
Third-class ticket was upgraded at check-in.
Reasoning
Neville says that on the sixth day of December the steamship desk told him a cancellation meant he would travel first class; the transcript frames the account as 1933.
Told / reported
after 6 December 1933

delivery claim d0 on lecture nid 3963: bound after 1933-12-06, doubtful (demoted from a memory-year misread, v1.1/l7/demote)
Reasoning
The voyage is recounted within lecture nid 3963, whose own delivery date is only bounded 'after 1933-12-06' at doubtful confidence -- a prior pass found the lecture's apparent 1933 self-dating was Neville recalling that year rather than stating the delivery date, and downgraded accordingly. The telling therefore inherits the same weak, open-ended bound; ceiling respected at doubtful.
