Transcriber's Notes:

?  The use of the question mark(?) indicates the film was too light smudged or 
   too dark or for some other reason a whole name or a few letters of a name
   are unreadable/
*  The use of an asterisk(*) indicateds an omission or error made by the 
   original recorder
'  The use of the apostrophe(') indicates the subsequent letter was raised.

No compartment listed on the manifest for the area occupied on the ship.    

173 - occupation is unreadable except it has a tall first letter and possibly
      6 smaller letters. The country which he is from is also very difficult
      to determine just what it means. It is listed as apparantly Us with a
      lot of writing that has been faded after that and then the country he
      went to as United States and my guestion is why is the country written
      different if he was from the USA. I have transcribed the following people
      as from Grt Britain untill such time as the country they came from is
      plainer.
173 to 201 - are impossible to know for positive where they are from so I have
      left the from out.
262 - under place coming from (la?s. J. J. Boyd/58) Next line after is not 
      numbered as such. I have numbered it 28. It lists this passenger as being
      born at sea on December 23rd. The passenger directly above is plainly 
      listed as 50.  So it is difficult to tell if this is her child or some
      one elses.
307 - is listed as being from "City of Limerick"sofls/65
