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. The departure port is listed as simply Panama. Research indicates this refers to Panama City. 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 All passengers have a note "Departed for Hong Kong per SS Belgic Apr 19, 1894."
