Transcriber's Notes:

 A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
 definitely.

 An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
 the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader
 should refer.

 The transcriber numbered the passengers consecutively 1-14, even though they
 are not numbered in the original manifest.

 1  Surname is possibly "Gleeson" or "Gleesin".
 3  Last letters of surname are not clearly formed and impossible to decipher
    with certainty.  Surname clearly begins with "Magl" followed by possibly
    "orn", "ow" or "om", resulting in possible surname "Maglorn", "Maglow" or
    "Maglom".
 5  Last letters of surname are not clearly formed and impossible to decipher
    with certainty.  Surname clearly begins with "Man" followed by either
    "orell" or "well", resulting in possible surname "Manorell", "Maxwell" or
    "Manwell".
13  Surname is possibly "Buslay", "Busley", "Butlay" or "Butley". 
14  Passenger's name is covered by an ink blot rendering it impossible to
    decipher with certainty, but name clearly begins with "T", followed by
    possibly "es", followed by "y", "ey" or "ej", followed by a clearly written
    "illo".  Surname is possibly "Tesyillo", "Teseyillo", "Tesejillo" or
    something similar.
