I think the enumerator repeated Fanny Robertson's information about the number of children and number surviving. Both are the same. And Wilford Robinson's information is the same as William McIntyre's. Also, Sarah was 46 when she married.

but I looked twice and didn't see him. Maybe you can spot him, or maybe he was part of the crew, since he was a cook.
Another ship named the Canada arrived in NY 25 October 1882, but it had left from Le Harve, with a different captain and was called the SS Canada. The one that arrived 9 October was called a "vessel".

Thankyou everyone for the information

San Antonio city directories at ancestry.com.
And I doubt they had children if she was 45 or so when they married, certainly not six.

Maybe he was married before and divorced
-
The 1910 census says M2 for her marital status, which means that was her second marriage. She may have been widowed or divorced. She was old enough that her children may have all been grown if she had them at a young age or they may have been living with another family member.
