Transcriber's Notes
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 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, in this case Grant).
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number. These passengers are bound for a
further port.
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).
Occupation apparently is recorded as Grocer for all but passenger 74 who is listed as a Doctor.
This is accomplished by writing Grocer for the top name on the page followed by check marks for
all passengers below. The check marks are not always clear.
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
Last Place of Residence
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Information missing was too light to read on the film.
37 "Fem" is written in the margin and "to join her husband" in the line.
65 second name is Tung (but there seems to be a dotted i), Timg or possibly Ting
(but there are too many "humps" for this.)
73 The Habeas Corpus Case number is partly illegible.
74 Although this passenger has a Transit List number at the end of the line it says,
"Landed by Collector absolutely."
75-76, 80 At the end of the line is the word Transferred.
81 There is a note at the bottom of thge page, "Number 407 is not a Chinese person.
She departed with her husband." On the line it says "with her husband #59."
