Transcriber's Notes:
     
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letter that could not be read, due to the
quality of the original document.

*  The following columns have been eliminated and the reasons are noted. 
     Intended destination or Location---All going to the USA
     Date and Cause of Death---No Deaths Occurred 
     Location of Compartment or Space occupied---This information is shown by the
      letters F & A.  (F) is probably for FORWARD; (A) could mean either Amidships
      or Aft. It's barely legible so it's been eliminated.
     Number of pieces of baggage---Every passenger is shown with at least one
      piece of baggage; some have two but the information is very faint so this
      column has been eliminated. 
     Transient, In Transit, or Intending protracted sojourn---All are Aliens
      except the few noted in the Transcriber's Notes.

*  These five passengers are listed as RESIDENTS, not ALIENS, which I think
   means that they are returning to their home in the United  States: 
   #320--#342--#364--#365--#366 

Reviewer's Note:
A scan was used to review this page. The scans are often easier to read than paper copies.


 211--The last name is either Ostlund or Ostland 
 213-214-215--Letter after P in last name is either an "a" or "u".  
      Second letter from end of last name is either "r" or "v".
      Reviewer's note: The name could be Panjore.
 223--Letter questioned is either a "j" or another "g"
      Reviewer's note: the letter in question seems to be g for Bergquist.
 241--Looks like Knji
      Reviewer's note: the name looks like Kaji.
 243--Beginnibg looks like "Kntt" Perhaps a vowel in place of the "n".
      Reviewer's note: the 2nd letter could be u.
 244--Could be "ie" after the K.
      Reviewer's note: the letters after the K could be uwi.
 246--Last two letters look like "vi".
 247- 248--Second letter looks like a "u"; Last two letters could be
      "er" or "e" or just a fancy swirl after the "k".
 249--These letters could be "an" or "ain". Also the combination of 
      the letters "t" & "j" appear to be similiar to the way the 
      recorder wrote his capital G.
 250--"ron" is my guess for the last three letters.
      Reviewer's note: the last 3 letters could be arn.
 251--Three upright letters together; Perhaps "ill"
 252--Petso or Pelso
 253--Letters in question-"in" perhaps.
      Reviewer's note: the last name could be Nylund.
 254--Maybe "ra" as in Wefrand
      Reviewer's note: the last name could be Wepran.
 255--Last two letters seem to be "um" but I suspect the name was 
      Thomstrom
      Reviewer's note: it looks like there are 2 dots over the o to make it o Umlaut, the name
      would read Thomström. It could be a smudge on the original manifest. 
 256--All these letters look the same. They are some combination of
      "n" "r" or "i"
 257--Cannot read Occupation-Indecipherable
      Reviewer's note: the occupation seems to be Tailor.
 259--Could be Stir. It looks like Stn. Age looks like 27-22-37-32
 260--Last two letters very faint. Cannot read.
