[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Looking for Hanke origins

[Pfeifer's]

Hello, 

My great grandfather Eduard Hanke came from Russian Poland. He arrived in New York in 1890 and then emigrated to Canada in 1892. I have found him on the passenger lists for both leaving Hamburg and arriving at NY. I thought I would actually find his hometown name on these lists. Unfortunately listed as his "place of hailing" on both lists is Gufermint, Poland. "Gufermint??"... I'm thinking he misunderstood the question the nametaker was asking and answered instead a question like "why are you leaving?". He answers "I'm leaving because of the government". Could that be the case or was there actually a village named Gufermint somewhere in Russian Poland? I know a cousin of his may have been from the Lodtz area. Any help would be appreciated.
