Transcriber's Notes:
This manifest had no 'day' recorded in the arrival date on the sworn statement;
further research identified NARA Lists 1071-1074 (immediately preceding this ship) with a
clear arrival date of 15 Nov 1858; however, NARA List 1076 (immediately after this ship)
shows an arrival date of 16 Nov 1858; thus the arrival date of this ship could be
15 November 1858 or 16 November 1858.
