Transcriber's Notes:
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are
included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.
For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp
that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever
information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1894 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case Grant).
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Refused Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were probably
allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country. The National Archives should have
a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
For passengers bound for a further port there are two possible dispositions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
The No of Ticket and Sex columns have been added by the completer.
Occupation is recorded as "Grocer" for all male passengers. Occupation is universally
recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882
admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already in the US and "students,
teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United States from curiosity."
Last Residence information has a stamp on top of it but seems to be "China" for all
passengers.
35 Occupation is "to join her husband Wong Kum Ching." There are two more words that have
been stamped over.
43 Occupation is "to join her husband Loo Fat, Yue Chung Jackson St."
44 Occupation is "to join her husband Chun Hee Shun Lee Dupont St."
45 Occupation is "with her husband Yue Ping Kwan #7." There is a note "Not Chinese,
departed for Tahiti, her native country, with her husband."
