Sources

Publishes Part I of a historical feature about High Island, Ben Purnell, the House of David, settlement buildings, and island vessels; it is a newspaper historical narrative and preserves its claims as source-bounded memory rather than independently verified chronology. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
