How it is shown: Cropped to the document only: the viewer's toolbar, buttons, page counter and any account name are removed; no retouch of the document, no highlight. The saved original screenshot stays private.

Keep in mind: The writer calls the shipwreck-survivor, catamount and sheep account "tradition" and names no source. Confirmed as printed. The earliest printing found of the shipwreck, catamount and sheep tradition; it gives no cabin boy, vow, Wales, Conant or Bible.
