Transcriber's Notes:     
      
    For passenger Preble's occupation, ???? appears to be late.
  + Spelling of Labourer is as written.
    After passenger John Murphy's name, ??? appears to be the word son.
  ? In passenger Karkee? looks like an n or an r.
  * Lower case m was written above the W, appears to be an abbreviation 
    for William.
 ** Appears to be October, but rest of word is missing because of damage 
    to original.
*** Rest of name is missing because of damage to original.
