Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an "*" indicates an omission or error made in the original document
or a clarification by this transcriber.

The use of a "?" indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
the quality of the original document.

The use of a caret "^" indicates the following letter has been
superscripted, indicating possible abbreviation.

The signature attesting to the sworn statement is indecipherable; it is
followed by "DC" which may indicate the Deputy Collector of Customs

Passengers were numbered by the transcriber for ease of reference.

The classification of ship looks like "Barque" is written over "Brig";
however it may be the other way around; in addition, some other word may
also have been overwritten.
