There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not
included in the table:

Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes (except passengers not bound
for San Francisco)
Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no

Whether under contract to labor in the US=no
Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
Whether having any deformities=no
Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.
1-4 marital status is spelled out on the manifest but abbreviated here to match
the rest of the list.
1 has been to Frisco.
2 has been to New York 1870. She is going to join Brother, Timothy Noonan, San
Francisco. This passenger is almost the same as passenger 27. They were
written on the list by different people.
3 has been to Colorado, possibly 1891. The date is written in the line below,
perhaps to indicate both have been to Colorado in 1891.
4 See passenger 3 entry. This entry appears to have a line drawn through it,
probably because he is not an alien. Passage was paid by father.
5-7 These passengers are listed on one line under the name of the male, followed
by the words wife & child.
10 is going to join Mr J. Anderson Georgetown, Kentucky.
10-11 There are brackets in the Last Residence and Going to Join columns that
suggest these passengers may have been traveling together and joining J Anderson

line under the name of the male, followed by the words wife & child.

21 passage was paid for by Mrs White Granville. Last Residence is Lamceston or
Lainceston. She has no ticket to final destination.
22 Tracy is written after the surname in a different hand. He has been to Phila
1891. If this passsenger's name is Tracy he is very similar to passenger 25.

column says "with husband."

32 Last Residence is Rotorua Auckland.

is no street by that name in San Francisco.
37-41 "Father on board" is written in the By Whom was Passage Paid column.
