Transcriber's Notes:
In transcribing I have tried to keep the original case size of each word 
and spelling of this document and have not changed any punctuation or any 
known abbreviations.
Several words were abbreviated.
* First Column  - John Jones is clearly written twice
                  Lewis Land could be Laud
* Second Column - Davies could be Davids
* Third Column  - Cuth.  the u does not appear to be a closed a meaning
                  Cath. or Catherine, abbreviation Cuth. unknown
* added addend. - this passenger seems to be added after the signatures
                  of the master and witnesses.  Name could be Ant.o (Antony?)
                  and surname could be Merrit
