Transcriber's Notes: 
* JAP* ISTG does not wish to be derogatory with regard to any race of  
  people.  We have transcribed the document exactly as it was written  
  for historical and accuracy purposes.   
* For all Passengers "San Francisco" is written through columns 10 and 11. 
* Passenger 11, "Last Residence" is noted as "Koochi", but original  
  spelling is Kochi. 
* Passenger 12, "Sex" is noted as "Male", but is female. In column 6  
  is written "to join her Father" in place of "Calling or Occupation". 
* There is no Captain's signature or Captain's name on this manifest. 
* No Passengers die on this voyage.
