Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
  the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes.

? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
  condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

There is no information on the port of departure on the manifest.  However, 
a later arrival for this ship gives the port of departure as "Panama."

There is no signature on either the captain's statement or that of the 
Immigration Inspector.

Read and Write is handwritten at the top of the Remarks column above where 
yes has been entered. 

There is no heading above the numbers column.  However, on other manifests 
on this film Money has been written in.

Passenger numbers have been added for ease in referencing.
