Neville imagines passage off Barbados and sails for a Milwaukee engagement

Stranded for months on his island with only two small ships serving the whole of the Indies and a long waiting list, Neville imagined himself on the deck of a ship looking back at the island with his wife and daughter beside him; within twenty-four hours the Alcoa Steamship Company called and offered him two berths, and he sailed in time to keep a speaking engagement in Milwaukee on the first of May.

    Reasoning Passage 556966 is Neville narrating directly his imaginal act aboard a ship leaving Barbados, and the Alcoa Steamship Company's call within twenty-four hours offering him and his family the last two berths, in time for a Milwaukee engagement on the first of May. The lecture containing this passage, nid 4006, carries only one delivery claim, a probable lower bound (after 1955, from Anthony Eden succeeding Churchill as Prime Minister, spoken of as a past event). No claim gives an exact day or upper bound, so the telling is written as the same open after-1955 bound at the same probable confidence rather than an invented date.
