District and Port of San Francisco.

I, Thomas Scullun, master or conductor of the bark Cape Horn Pigeon, bound from the port of San Francisco on a whaling voyage, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the manifest of the cargo on board the said bark, now delivered by me to the collector of this district and subscribed with my name, contains, according to the best of my knowledge and belief, a full, just, and true account of all the goods, wares, and merchandise now actually laden on board the said vessel or vehicle, and of the value thereof, and if any other goods, wares, or merchandise shall be laden or put on board the said bark previous to her departure from this port I will immediately report the same to the collector.

I do also swear that I verily believe the duties on all foreign merchandise therein specified have been paid or secured according to law, and that no part thereof is intended to be relanded within the United States, and that if by distress or other unavoidable accident it shall become necessary to reland the same I will forthwith make a just and true report thereof to the collector of customs of the districts wherein such distress or accidents may happen, and said cargo is truly intended to be used in whaling. So help me God.

Thomas Scullun, Master.

Sworn to before me this 7th day of December, 1891.
