Transcriber's Notes:     

* There is a discrepancy between the "Sworn Statement" arrival date and the arrival 
  date on the "Manifest.
* Passenger 1, has San Fran, written in the "Remarks" column, no designation as to
  what it is.
* Passenger 2, has Hong Kong, written in the "Remarks" column, again no designation.  
* Passenger 9, can not make out "Given Name" due to condition of Manifest.
* There is nothing hand written for the date in the Immigration Inspector's Statement.
* No passengers died on this voyage.
