Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the
 condition of the original document.

*The last name of the Captain of the ship is unreadable. All letters
 after the H appear almost as a straight line.
