Transcriber's Notes:

* An ? indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the 
  original document, and is clarified in the Transcribers Notes.
* A * indicates an error on the part of the original record or is used to call
  your attention to additional information in the Transcriber Notes.
* The ships title sheet lists its name as the Baltic, however in the sworn
  statement above it is clearly titled the Balbic in both places.
* The year of the voyage is obscured by the list number which bled through the paper.  
  The cover sheet lists the voyage as 1860.


* 2  Surname is unclear. Whit, followed by e or i, then n, followed by a tiny break to 
     start the next letter which appears to be a midline letter or letters starting with 
     a curl from the right to left and three peaks (possibly cue, am, in, em).
