I, George Siddons Murray, Master of the S.S. Alaska do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of the City of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the said vessel at Liverpool and Queenstown from which Port said vessel has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the calling of each of said passengers, the location of the compartment or space occupied by each during the passage, the country of citizenship of each, and also the destination or location intended by each; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the dates and causes of death, and the names and ages of those who died; also of the pieces of baggage of each; also a true statement, so far as it can be ascertained, with reference to the intention of each alien passenger as to a projected sojourn in this country. So help me God. (signed) Geo. S. Murray. Sworn to this June 30, 1884, before me. (signed) ???????? DC.

Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting
of the manifest or something that the reader should note.
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed definitely.
An entry of "Perm Steerage" in the column "Location of compartment or space occupied"
indicates "Permanent Steerage" and has been shortened here to ease formating.
The recorder of the manifest placed braces next to those passengers traveling together
indicating the group's total number of pieces of baggage. The transcriber has listed the
total pieces of baggage in the row of the first passenger of the group, and a "-" in the
rows of the rest of the group.
An entry of "Sojourn" in the column "Transient or in transit or intending protracted
sojourn" indicates "Protracted Sojourn" and has been shortened here to ease formatting.
320 First three letters of given name are "Mat". Fourth letter could be a "t", "l" or
"h". fifth and sixth letters appear to be "ea" or "ed". Given name is possibly
"Matlud", "Mathea", "Matlia" or "Mathed".
324 Given name could be "Jigwal", "Jigmal", "Jigwat" or "Jigmat".
