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=San Francisco  
 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 
Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.

Passenger Notes:
2-3 California is misspelled on the manifest. These passengers have been to
   "Calafornia" previously.
4-5 are going to join "St. George Western Is."
9   is going to join Wife and Family.  He is described as having no ticket to 
    final destination, which is San Francisco, by ditto marks.  This is probably
    an error.
10  is going to join Cousins.
11  is going to join Husband.
12  is listed merely as "and infant."
13  is going to join Son.
