Both entities refer to the same object: Queequeg's tomahawk. The source entity describes it as a 'small axe' and 'hatchet-faced baby', focusing on its weapon aspect. Candidate 1, labeled 'tomahawk pipe', explicitly states it serves 'both as a smoking pipe and a hatchet for combat'. The source text for Candidate 1 further confirms its dual nature by mentioning 'lighted his tomahawk pipe' and later 'flourished the hatchet-side of it'. The shared owner (Queequeg) and the consistent context strongly indicate they are the same versatile tool.
