Transcriber's Notes: 
 
* The second word appears to be the name of the owner, GNGu?e, not the 
  Master. The owner's name was undecipherable in both locations. It could 
  be Gune, Guise, Girse. 
* The year was printed 182 closely followed by a handwritten oversized 
  comma (making the 2 into a 3?), followed by a handwritten 2. Result: 1832 
* No passengers died on the voyage.  
* The first passenger's first name was lost due to torn page. Surname was 
  probably Romoke, although a mark after the R could be an "r". His 
  occupation and that of the next 2 was illegible.
* Second passenger's first name was also torn. Might be Wm. # 5 Fleming ?oc? Could be Jock, Joch, Gock, Goch. # 6 Andn The second "n" was raised to super position.
