      there is a dot above the smudge.  The given name

      unreadable letters in the given name extend above

      dittoed from passenger 25.

      making the name Berohs.

      last name.  It is raised above the line and looks 
      like a lower case a followed by a period, a.

      them, just after England.  To the right of the 
      bracket there was a hand written note that said 
      "these not to be counted they are the Captains 
      family."  Just below the note was an unreadable
      signature.  To the right of this note was a second
      note (in different hand writing) saying "Port of 
      Boston July 2 1890 Daniel Mahoney Bdg. Officer"
