Transcriber's Notes:     

Where question marks (??) are present, the letters were indistinguishable.
There were no deaths on this voyage so this column was eliminated.
The Yes or No were next to "Saloon" in the same column.  They did not have a 
 column of their own.  I assumed this was a yes or no as to whether they 
 stayed in the Saloon during the passage.

For passenger #17, the country they intend to inhabit was left blank.
For passenger #21 the occupation J-O-Q-E-N-S were clearly the letters written
 but I don't know what type of occupation this is.  It may be an abbreviation,
 possibly a Spanish word.
