This looks like Nellie returning to the US, but the age doesn't match well. I never found her earlier arrival.

Nellie Driscoll, 27, female, maid, single, last residence Crookhaven, destination: Buffalo, a resident there, had been in US for 5 years before

She had been scratched from same manifest also. That entry had this additional information:

housekeeper, US Citizen

is the age wrong?
