Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates illegible information in that line due to writing
  of original recorder  or damage to the original list.
* The use of ? indicates letters that could not read due to handwriting of the
  original recorder.
* There were no births or deaths on this passage, therefore the birth/death 
  column has been eliminated.
* Ship's name is preceeded by an illegible word, may be an abbreviation. Looks
  like ?ldl? Bark Union or Oldly Bark Union.
* The passengers were numbered by the transcriber, not on original film.
* #22 thru 49  The original list was torn in several places and then mended 
  with transparent tape. When filmed and copied these damaged places were 
  blacked out. The first names of these passengers were almost obliterated. 
  Most of the information on passengers #33 thru 35 was lost due to this damage.
