Transcriber's Notes:
I apologize for the number of names missing on this list; however the list
was in pretty bad condition, and was transcribed to the best of my ability.
The Sworn Statement above is from another ship of the same route and year.
It was used here by the Transcriber, since the Statement for this list was
missing.
Most likely the captain is George Siddons Murray as he was the captain on other
voyages of this vessel.
All passengers were on Protracted Sojurn.
USA was listed for destination, rather than United States to save space.
There were no deaths on board the ship.
* 101 Name could be CALLEN.
