The departure port is listed as simply "Panama." Research indicates this is probably Panama City. The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult. However, There appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below. Passengers' names and ages are usually followed by a stamp that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever information has been entered in the columns. Passengers allowed to land have one of the following stamps: Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by Insp's (blank for a name). Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number. These passengers are bound for a further port. Some passengers in transit are described as departed on a particular steamer and date. Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps: Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were probably allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country. Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date). The following columns had no entries so they were not included in the table: Height Complexion Color of Eyes Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts No of Certificate column has no entries except for passengers 3 and 12 who have a ticket number recorded. Passenger Notes: 1 It is very difficult to read Occupation which is blotted and written over. It could be merchant. 13 Occupation is written over and entirely illegible. Second name could be Me or the name could be McLan 14 Salina Cruz is in Mexico.
