Seeking Olsens' voyage to Fisher Minnesota

Hallo. I have been seeking the transatlantic immigration of my GGGrandmother and daughters for a long time. I know that they left Vadso, Finnmark, Norway in late October 1889, bound for Trondheim. I have found their immigration record from Trondheim, as below:
30/10 1889 Allan Line : SS Domino Destination Fisher’s Landing Minnesota America
No. 3864 Nicoline J.(ohanna) Olsen 34 Vadso
3865 Hannah (Mathilda) 4 “”
3866 Jenny (Christine) 1 “”
The SS Domino was their Wilson Line feeder ship out of Trondheim on 1889-10-30; thereafter it sailed to Christiansund - Aalesund – Hull, England. I presume a train to Liverpool, but could have easily been Glasgow or London.
I cannot find their transatlantic record. I searched corresponding ships for the SS DOMINO, then searched the manifests for the Line’s SS Siberian (1889-11-08); SS Carthaginian (1889-11-11) for the month of November, even SS Circassian in December (1889-12-09) to no avail.
These Olsens did reside in Fisher’s Landing (1895 census) and Crookston (1900 census), Minnesota, so I know they made it. Husband Johan Olsen sailed from Trondheim on 21 August 1888 aboard the SS Hero of the BEAVER line, with the same declared destination. Just cannot track them down.
Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Ron
