 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.  This ship departed 
 From Victoria with non-Chinese passengers listed on page one, this passenger and two more 
 Chinese passengers that were picked up in Port Townsend, Washington Territory, listed
 on a separate list transcribed here in page three.
