Transcriber's Notes:
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:

 Seaport for Landing in the US=S.F. 
 Final Destination in the US=S.F.

 Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no

 Whether having any deformities=no 

1 has been in S.F. 1890
2 has been in Boundry Bay.
2 & 3 Last Residence is clearly written as transcribed.  I was unable to find a 
    Canadian town by that name, but there are Cheminis and Chemainus.
4 & 5 Last Residence is clearly written as transcribed, but Nanaimo is probably 
    meant.
