Transcriber's Notes
The following columns had identical entries and so were not included in the table:
  Sex=male
  Destination=San Franco
The Age column has no entries except passenger 14 who is 29.

1-2, 6, 9-10, 12
    There are lines through all the above passengers' entries, presumably because
    they were not aliens.
3-4 Surname is Elfuing or Elfring.
7   The unknown entry in the Remarks column is very difficult to read but may be
    "Antigua."
14  is 29 years old.  There is a note at the bottom of the manifest that seems to
     have a line drawn from this passenger's name to it.  "French-Has an uncle here
     John A?zlailu (missing letter is n or u) Broadway New Montgomery Has lived in
     SF 2 1/2 years was here 2 yr ago."  Both Broadway and New Montgomery are streets
     in San Francisco, but they do not cross nor even come very close to each other.  

If you find an ancestor on a ship on ISTG and would like to link to your email address or home page, please submit a short paragraph about the passenger, where settled, children, etc., with the name of the ship and date of arrival, and send to the transcriber at the bottom of the manifest or to the ISTG Production Coordinator.
