A second statement page follows this manifest on which Mr. Sundberg
wrote "CHINESE" underlined at the top, filled in his name but no
other blanks, and added these words after "So Help Me God":  "and
the personal description of said passengers as shown by the
certificate in their possession." He also crossed out some of the
preprinted column headings and wrote in replacement wording for
them.

Columns for the Chinese manifest are as follows: Names, Age in Years,
Sex, Calling, Last Residence, Height, Complection, Location of
Compartment or Space Occupied, Physical Marks, and Eyes.

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 quality of original document.

NOTE:The original recorder of this manifest used "Mcht" for "Merchant",
"Svt" for "Servant", "Asst" for "Assistant", and "Eng" for "Engineer".
Also, ages are given in years and months. It is important to read them
separately; otherwise someone x years and .5 months might be mistaken
to be x and one half years, rather than the correct x years and half
a month (2 wks).
