However, this ship has consistently sailed from Panama on other transcribed lists of this period. 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. There are four ships that seem to be out of order using this system. This is one of them. The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table: No of Certificate Height Complexion Color of Eyes Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts Illegible letters are replaced with ?
