Schooner Adelia Chase sailing from Brava C.V.S.(Cape Verde Islands) Aprel 6, 1908

I, Alfred Neves, of the Sch. Adelia Chase, from Brava, do solumnly, sincerely, and truly swear that I have caused the surgeon of said vessel sailing therewith, or the surgeon employed by the owners therof, to make a physical and oral examination of each and all of the aliens named in the foregoing Lists or Manifest Sheets, 3, in number, and that from the report of said surgeon and from my own investigation, I believe that no one of said aliens is an idiot, or imbecile, or a feeble-minded person, or insane person, or a pauper, or is likely to become a public charge, or is afflicted with tuberculosis or with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease, or is a person who has been convicted of, or who admits having committed a felony or other crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or is a polygamist or one admitting belief in the practice of polygamy, or an anarchist, or under promise or agreement, express or implied, to perform labor in the United States, or a prostitute, or a woman or girl coming to the United States for the purpose of prostitution, or for any other immoral purpose, and that also, according to the best of my knowledge and belief the information in said Lists or Manifests concerning each of said aliens named therein is correct and true in every respect.
signed Alfred Neves, 1st Mate Officer

Sworn to before me this 11 day of May 1907 at New Bedford, Mass.

Transcriber's Notes:

 On the manifest, the passengers were numbered 1 through 14 for First Cabin,
 1 through 30 for steerage A, 1 through 7 for steerage B and 1 through 8 for
 crew. For this transcription they are renumbered consecutively.

 Every passenger said no to items 19 thru 22, good to item 23 health and never
 to item 24 infirmity

 In the column for Race for steerage passengers, the word Portuguese was
 overwritten with the word African.

 In Last Permanent Residence, Country, the town was often overwritten with NIA
 or CVI

 Unfortunately, the handwriting in Nearest Relative was light, poorly written
 and crowded. Transcription often questionable.

 Geographic names were misspelled: Oncet is Onset, Caver is Carver, S.Thiago is
 Sao Tiago, S. Henson is South Hanson, Mashfield is Marshfield on recent maps;
 I could not find anything like Milbarow
