Transcriber's notes:

 There is a line drawn through the last part of the sworn statement pertaining 
 to passengers who died on the voyage.  I have used an * to show where the drawn 
 line begins and it follows through to the end of the sentence.  Since there were 
 no deaths on the voyage, I have eliminated the Death column.

 The age for the only passenger is transcribed as it was written - 28 years 0 months.
