Thank you to everyone who took a look at the ship manifest and tried to help me decipher the city name. Wueste Kehle looks like a good match to what most of us are seeing in the writing. Weisskehle in Rawitsch, Posen is also a good possibility because a lot of Radoys come up on the LDS pilot site when I do a search for the last name. And Radoy is not a very common last name.
Thanks again, you guys are the best.

I would lean towards Wueste Kehle because Schlesien (Silesia) is listed as
the province (next column over), and it is also near Trebnitz (the home
town of the next group above the Radoj family).
The first part of the name (Wueste) could very well be abbreviated.
Good luck!

Kartenmeister yields 2 possible results that fit your interpretation of
the spelling:
Wueste Kehle in Trebnitz, Silesia, today known as Kalowice, Poland.
Weisskehle in Rawitsch, Posen
You can follow up with parish names etc at http://www.kartenmeister.com
There could of course be other possibilities if the interpretation is
incorrect. You can do a search for other starting letters by using a
wild card in the form [ W*kehle ]
