Transcriber's Notes:

Passengers are numbered for reference.  No deaths were reported so the death 
 column is omitted.  
Great Britain is abbreviated "G.B." and United States is abbreviated "U.S."  
Letters that could not be read are indicated by "?."  A second passenger list
 for passengers 1 through 85 preceded some name variants indicated below and
 clarification for some names that were unclear on the mainlist.

Passenger:
3- There is clearly a period after the initial "O" which suggests that the
   surname O'Bokee is not likely.
53 Riley is spelled "Rilley" in the second list.
54-60 Please contact the transcriber Willam M. Sumner if you are interested
   in the Pulford family.
61 is listed on the second list as "Briddy A. Morris."
87- There appears to be a period after the initial "O" but it is possible that
   this surname is O'Hare.
