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:

 Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes (except 3 & 6) 
 Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
 Whether a Polygamist=no
 Whether under contract to labor in the US=no (except 8)
 Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
 Whether having any deformities=no 
Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.

2   is going to join J Gomes.
3   has been to Marin Co. and Alameda.  He has no ticket to final destination.  
     Money column says "no money 3 only a few dollars."  He is going to join 
     "my wife in Oakland, Alameda Co."
4-6 Last Residence is Wailuku, Maui.  Passenger 6 has no ticket to final 
     destination.  The column is blank for the rest of the family.  They are 
     going to join "Madeira."
7   Last Residence is Hana, Maui. He is going to join "Madeira." 
8   Final Destination is San Mateo Co.  Money Column says "$500 has I have 
     $500 in Cala" (Presumably this means California.)  He is going to join 
     Brother Joao Silva San Mateo Co.  The Under Contract to Labor column 
     says "Labor."
