Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder; or a clarification by the transcriber.
This Shipıs list is very clearly written, except for the Deputy Collector.
Passenger Notes:
1 & 2: While I believe the surname is correct, it could be Roihe
Collector of Customs (in the sworn statement): Name is indecipherable. It
may begin with MO and may end with the abbreviation DC which would stand
for Deputy Collector.
