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:
Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco
Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes (except 9)
Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
Whether a Polygamist=no
Whether under contract to labor in the US=no(except 7 & 8)
Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
Whether having any deformities=no
1-4 In the Whether in Possession of Money colum $30 is written and the numbers
transcribed here are written above.
6 age is recorded as 2 in the years column and 1/2 in the months column. It
could mean 2 years and 1/2 month.
7-8 passage was paid by Haw Ex Co. I believe this stands for Hawaiian Exhibition
Co. They were under contract to labor in the U.S.
8 was in SF July 1894.
9 has no ticket to final destination. He was in US 5 years ago. He is going
to join Brother.
