Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
   the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
   in the transcriber's notes.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
   condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

No one is listed as having died on the voyage, that column was eliminated.
The passenger numbers were added by the transcriber, they were not on the
original film.
Captain's name may be John M. Gowan

16  age looks like it was originally written as 28 and then written over 28.
