I, W.H. Stuart, Master of the Schr. Sarah E. Douglas, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear 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 Cat Island from which Port the 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, and location of 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 the said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on the 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) W.H. Stuart. Sworn to this 3 July 1884, before me. (signed) ?????????.

Transcriber's Notes:
* 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.
The abbreviation "Br." before the Schooner Sarah E. Douglas likely means that the
schooner was of British ownership.
1 Surname is either "Casey" or "Carey".
