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 name of the Captain seems to be Cane, Corn, Conn. 
* The port of embarkation looks like Bombay but the ship, I believe, 
  is too small to travel such a long distance, so perhaps
  it's probably from an island in the West Indies.  

Staff note:
  ancestry.com has transcribed as from Barbados to New York but calls
  the ship the Mizardking.

? appears to be Mapuehotz but I cannot find any town or city of that name. 
  ancestry.com has transcribed as Mapuehog
