    reasoning
    The source entity 'cutting spade-pole' is described as a tool for 'cutting whale blubber' and owned by Stubb. Candidate 1, 'whaling-spade', is described as 'designed for cutting blubber' and its source text explicitly states 'In its socket, a stiff pole, from twenty to thirty feet long, is inserted for a handle.' This confirms that a 'whaling-spade' with a pole is the same as a 'cutting spade-pole', performing the same function.
