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 allowed to land have one of the following stamps:
Landed Collectors order_________(blank with a month and day date written in) i893 by
Insp's (blank for a name).
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.O. 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).
Sex is not one of the printed names of columns but was added by whomever completed the list.
The following columns had no entries:
No of Certificate
Occupation
Last Place of Residence
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts
Passenger Notes:
2 There is no stamp to indicate the landing status of this passenger.
4 The USDC Case number has only 4 digits. These numbers are usually 5 digits. It is
most likely the last one that is missing.
5 The Transit List number has been written over.
1-5 All passengers are joined by a bracket and a notation "for Hong Kong." There is
usually a ship's name associated with this information but the name is either missing
or the ink is smeared obscuring it.
