Transcriber's Notes:
1-This is a great sweeping letter. At first I thought that it was an
H. But on closer scrutiny it is not like the h in the first initial of
the captain's name. It could be an M or an N. Making the name Masbin
or Nasbin.
3-I can't make out this letter. The tail of the z in the previous name
covers it. If I were forced to guess I might say it was a tall letter.
Such as a d,t,l or h. Making the name Herdschen, Hertschen, Herlschen or
Herhschen.
8-The writing is so faint that I can't make out any letter but the m.
