Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the
   original recorder; or a clarification by the transcriber.

?  The use of a ? indicates a letter that could not be read,
   due to the quality of the original document.

*  Collector of Customs: (in the sworn statement) Name is
   essentially undecipherable. It may begin with an "M" and
   may end with the subscripted abbreviation: DC which 
   probably stands for Deputy Collector.

In the Manifest the Captain wrote the word, "Sch" and not the whole word.
