    The source entity describes 'coffin queequegs' as a coffin later repurposed as a life-buoy. Candidate 2, labeled 'coffin life-buoy', explicitly describes it as a 'life-saving device shaped like a coffin' that provides buoyancy for Ishmael's survival. Both entities refer to the same unique object: Queequeg's coffin after it has been repurposed into a life-buoy.
