Transcriber's Notes:     
* Most of the first column of this list is missing.  Seems to be cut off.  
* Only the last letter or so of the last 3 passengers is there.

  #5 first name could begin with N or M perhaps, but damage begins here.
 #11-14 perhaps surname should be Ryan or Rooney, but written Ruan.
 #14 first name could end with ia or ca.
 #15 possibly ds on end of first name.
