Transcriber's Notes:     

Was unable to read the first name of the ship master, the first three
letters were Fre the remainder runs together.  The signature was readable 
and was signed  F. B. Lewis.
 
There was a question mark after 62/88? on original document not added by
transcriber.

This list was easily read and clear, and there were no comments in the
died in voyage column.
