Transcriber's Notes:
* The date is the issue date of the newspaper, the actual date of arrival would
  be close to that date.
* Greytown is most likely in Nicaragua. Greytown (also called San Juan del Norte), 
Nicaragua was a settlement at the eastern terminus of one of the proposed canal 
routes across the Central American isthmus during of the nineteenth century. 
The town was a small fort and customs station prior to 1848, the start of its 
period of rapid growth as a foreign merchant enclave. During the California 
Gold Rush, thousands of travelers crossed the isthmus through this town on 
their way to or from San Francisco. Sail and steam-ships traveled between 
Greytown and New York and New Orleans. Small boats transported passengers 
along the Río San Juan - Lake Nicaragua waterway. Mules and horses transported 
them across the short land section between the lake and Pacific ports, meeting 
ships traveling up and down the coast between California and Nicaragua and Panama. 

22 - I think this might be a type set error - name should probably be R. Henderson.
