And I can't read what's before "Listowel" in the second column under the relative's name. Any thoughts?

Griffiths Valuation shows one Lucitt and numerous Lucids in Co. Kerry, though I saw none from Listowel. These records run from 1848-1864. Irish records are thin on the ground as a huge number were burned in the Civil War there. If one is going to search these rather meagre resources it would be very helpful to know the date of the passenger list.
And any clue to religion as church records are often still extant for some area, and get better and better for the latter part of the 19th century. In this case you could search for the baptism of the woman herself. Listowel is a civil parish in the R.C. Diocese of Ardfert and Agahdoe and the Church of Ireland diocese is Limerick, Ardfert and Agadhoe. There are female Lucitts who passed through Ellis Island, several from Tralee, which Listowel is near.
Also, a shot of the whole page or link to it would be helpful. In that way it is easier to identify how the ship,s officer formed various letters singly and in combination.
