Mystery reference number on Norwegian seamans register

[Katy Jane]

Hello from New Zealand.

 

Is there anyone that is experienced at interpreting "Norwegian seamans rolls"? I am trying to understand this reference number about my ancestor Hans Oluf Hansen - "538/85". I believe 85 is 1885 and it is referring to some other register or document. He jumped ship in New York and somehow made his way to New Zealand, so finding this other register or document could potentially help me. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

"JNo 538/85", (journal number) usually refers to the number of a document (typically a letter) received by the office/official keeping the

protocol (i.e. Tønsberg innrulleringskontor).  Presumably transferred to Kongsberg State Archive.

 

The 4ht last column is "Rømt i Newyork" (escaped in N.Y). 

A first guess is that the document is a letter either from the captain/shipping company, or  from the consulate, about the escape.
