Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
Controlled Society search recovered Joseph Andrew Mitchell and confirmed USS Newark, July 12, 1900, Peking, and the separation of action rank from later Lieutenant rank. Recovery provenance: the prior live-verification result is reconstructed because the described P10-C060–P10-C062 restart files were not physically available; the verified P10-C059 authority, retained web-reference metadata, legacy record, and prior session evidence are all preserved.
