*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
   the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
   in the transcriber's notes.

*  Venezuela, Cuba and Chile have cities named Matanzas.  It is believed that
   only Venezuela and Cuba have ports for large vessels.  This ship most
   likely sailed from Matanzas, Cuba.
