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 letters that could not be read, due to 
   quality of original document.

*  Tallies of passengers were written in columns for calling and country of 
   which they are citizens. These tallies were placed by me at the bottom of
   the passenger list.

*  The Cattlemen have no notations as to number of luggage pieces.
