Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission made by the original recorder.
*  The original recorder abbreviated Philadelphia.
*  There are several numbers preceeding the tonnage, viz., 197/95 and
   the number 29 superscripted above the slash.
*  The s in Chas E Lex was superscripted (Cha^s), indicating
   a probable abbreviation for Charles.
