Transcriber's Notes
The last two digits in the burthen are written above the line with a line
drawn under them, as one would write cents or hundredths.
The column Died on Voyage is not included because there were no deaths
recorded. There were some notes in this column, recorded in the last
column on the right. The numbers have no identification, however, on other
manifests on the film similar numbers appear to be the amount of money
the passenger has.
The number of pieces of baggage entries on the manifest signify by brackets
that the number entered includes the entire group. The number given has
been assigned here to the first group member listed. All others in the
group have * entered in this column.
7 The first name is written "Rauol", although this is not the usual
spelling of this name.
8, 24, 37 The final one or two letters in the first names are written
above the line.
9 The "n" in Cesina has a tilde.
10 Mexan has the "an" as a superscript.
17 There appears to be an accent on the "i" in Demetria.
29 There is no vowel written at the end of this name.
30 Although this is not the customary spelling of this name, it is clearly
written this way.
39 This name is either Yiu or Yui.
*Note: The port of Wayporto has not been found with research, therefore this
ship is not listed under said port but only under Port of Guaymas.
