Transcriber's Notes:
* This list was filed on the Wilmington arrivals film.
* For the columns for residence and destination, only those actually recorded
will be found on this transcription, though on the original film, a horizontal
line was used in each of those spaces. The line was probably used to denote
ditto for previous information, however, as in a few instances "do" was written,
it cannot be stated for certain that the horizontal line did in fact also mean
ditto, though it probably did. So if the horizontal line means ditto as well,
then any blank spaces in those columns could be assumed to be marked ditto for
previous information.
#2 age probably 28.
#8 surname could be McCurdy or possibly McLurdy.
#13 surname possibly begins with A or I or J, but looks something like Islh or Isen.
#16 surname could be spelled Torrens. Cannot be certain of second number in age.
#23 age not given.
#35 cannot determine age, due to damage in area.
