Transcriber's Notes:     
  
Since no passenger died on the voyage this column was eliminated.
Passenger #1, under "Country to which they severally belong" was originally 
  written "island of Aruba".  This was crossed out and "Spaniard" written above.
The date of June the 23d is possibly the date of departure.
National Archives and Records Administration, Film M237, Reel 15, List 178.
