Transcriber's notes:

*  There were no deaths on this voyage, so that column was omitted.
*  The signature of the customs official was illegible; something 
   like RmynRoofsec  

Passenger notes:

 4 After the word Military was written very small Capt.
 5 Miss deCardova and Maid (Miss Clark).
 8 Mrs Lazarus with two children and nurse.
14 Mrs I M Duff? The last letter just runs horizontally.
24 Mrs Sykes and two children. 
33 Second letter of both names looks like an e but could be an r 
   for Geocis Peado or Grocis Prado
