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
 By whom was passage paid?=self
 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 (except 4)
 Whether having any deformities=no

Passenger Notes:
1 Name column says "Sang Mong alias Wong Shung."  This line is crossed out, 
  probably because he is Chinese.  Chinese passengers were recorded on separate 
  lists.
4 Health column "says cripple from birth."
8 is joining Son.
