Transcriber's Notes:

* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality of the original document.

* The unreadable signature at the top of the page looks like two initials then the surname beginning with "St" -- it looks like "Stedcoell"

* The Captain's signature has initials before Shaw that are hard to read, and doesn'tlook like M.
