Transcriber's Notes:
     
The name of the ship is written Paravaia, Parania, and Paravia. 

The original recorder wrote the port of departure as Buenos Ayres.

? In the Sworn statement, there is a smudge covering the letter e 
in the word delivered.

? The signature of the Deputy Collector and date signed are 
illegible.

There were no deaths on this voyage, so that column has been
eliminated.

1 Surname is probably Gellerson, but possibly Jellerson.

2 Surname is probably Gellerson, but possibly Jellerson. The 
  occupation column has the word "do", indicating that she was 
  also a mariner.
