Transcriber's Notes
There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not included in 
the table:
 Able to Read & Write=yes 
 Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco  
 Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes 
 Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
 Whether a Polygamist=no
 Whether under contract to labor in the US=no
 Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
 Whether having any deformities=no 

1  age is 21 or 28.
10 Brooklyn is the only word in the Going to Join column.  It is possible that it 
    was meant to be in the Ever Before in the US column.
9  surname starts with "I" or "J."
14 This passenger has been crossed out, perhaps because he was an American.
24 surname is Peatta or Platta.
