Transcriber's Notes:     
*The captain's name is listed as "Mowett" on the form, but appears to
 be "Mowatt" as he signed it.
The column regarding number of pieces of baggage was eliminated. The
 lister had bracketed all the names and written "30". The column 
 "location of compartment or space occupied" was eliminated as there
 were no entries. The column "Date & Cause of Death" was also 
 eliminated as there were no entries in this column.
#3 The given name appears to be female yet the persons is clearly
 listed as Male. Further, this person is 11 years, 6 months old and is
 listed as a Teacher. An erroneous entry? Is he really "Lucien" and was
 the teacher the person ahead on the list-Kate Lalabel?
