Discharged to sister, Mrs K Dwyer, 114 East 53rd St

[The last notation, "discharged to sister" is probably because Katie was under age. I don't know what the cut off age was, Alicia might have been under age also.
I don't know who Katie Dwyer was. There was a woman by that name on Lexington Ave in 1920 who rented rooms, but I can't say that was her. Her maiden name was Sullivan.]

on the UK Outgoing Passenger Lists, Alicia and Catherine both say they were seamstresses.
