Transcriber's Notes:

* The use of asterisk (*) indicates that additional information is
  available in these Transcriber Notes (below). 
* the original recorder did NOT number the passengers, but the transcriber 
  added them for greater clarity and uniformity with other ships online.     
* The original recorder used ditto marks("), but all entries were written out
  completely for greater clarity of his intentions.
* All capitalization (or lack thereof) was that of the original recorder.
* The original recorder did not form his letters the same way each time,
  but quite obviously we are dealing with the same family, so a uniform 
  spelling was used. 

Sworn Statement:
 - The name of Darl P Beadling was crossed out and A F Turley written above it.
 - the usual SO HELP ME GOD at the end was NOT on the original.
 - Tenth was crossed out and Eleventh written above it. Possibly there was 
   a delay for the change in masters, even if this contradicts that to
   which he swore 
 - The usual word swear was left off the original.
