Transcriber's Notes:
This list is unusual in that is designed for each passenger to have a separate page.
At the top of each page appear blanks labeled:
Name: Date when booked:
Agent's Name: Agent's place of business:
Name of Steamer for which booked: Date of sailing from
Beneath this the information for the passenger is filled out in the columns listed
above.
The transcriber has condensed the information in the columns of the various pages
into the table above.
At the bottom of each page is an oath and a blank for the passenger's signature.
On some pages of this manifest there is more than one passenger listed. Since one
person signed for all of them it is likely they were traveling together.
Some of the passengers also have notes on their pages. These and the information
in the blanks at the top of the list are transcribed in the individual notes below.
The Agent's Name and Agent's Place of Business were not completed on any of the
pages.
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=San Francisco
Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes (except passengers going to San Jose 3 & 9)
Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
Whether a Polygamist=no
Whether under contract to labor in the US=no
Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
Whether having any deformities=no
