Schooner Mosquito

I, A. Adams, Master of the Am. Sch. Mosquito, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of the City of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the said vessel at Cape Gracias from which Port the said vessel has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the calling of each of said passengers, and location of compartment or space occupied by each during the passage, the country of citizenship of each, and also the destination or location intended by each; and that the said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on the said voyage, and the dates and causes of death, and the names and ages of those who died; also of the pieces of baggage of each; also a true statement, so far as it can be ascertained, with reference to the intention of each alien passenger as to a projected sojourn in this country. So help me God. (no signature). Sworn to this 7 July 1884, before me. (signed) ?????????.

List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Am. Sch. Mosquito whereof A. Adams is Master, from Cape Gracias, burthen 138 tons.

Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, calling, the country of which they are citizens. Since no one died during the voyage, that column was omitted from this transcription.

  
    1* C. Carlos   ?2  Male   Merchant   New Orleans   


    Transcriber's Note:
     
    The abbreviation "Am." before the name of the ship likely means that the schooner 
    was of American ownership or registry.

    An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
    manifest or something that the reader should note.

    A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
    definitely.


 1  First digit of Age is very faint, but Age is probably 34 or 54.  No entries were 
    recorded for this passenger's intended destination or location, location of compartment 
    or space occupied, number of pieces of baggage, and whether a transient, in transit or 
    intending a protracted sojourn.
