Transcriber's notes:

*  The sworn statement was after the passenger list but was changed to the
   beginning of the manifest to be in the format of ISTG standards
*  There were no deaths reported.
*  Johnson, Hillhouse, Miller and Gale came in Steerage.
** These four names were bracketed with statement "Landed at Victoria (4)
   for New Whatcom"
*  A1 409 198 N/N New Haven Conn 3/13/?3 was squeezed in between two lines.
   Between passenger 28 and 29
?  Question marks indicate letters difficult to identify positively. 
?  My best guess follows:
?  ?umato Kikutaro may be Fumato or Yumato Kikutaro.
?  Shi?ata Daukuro may be Shibata Daukuro.
?  ?kunaga Dayiro may be Takunaga Dayiro.
?  ?ai Fatsuija may be Trai Fatsuija; first letters covered by binding.
