Transcriber's Notes:
Most likely the captain is George Siddons Murray as he was the captain on other
voyages of this vessel.
Sworn statement and numerous names/columns not readable; very poor film.
Sworn statement taken from a comparable ship Liverpool to New York.
Last column, "projected Sojourn", shows only ditto marks for this section
of list.
