Transcriber's Notes:

  *  The 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 notes below
  *  The question mark (?) indicates letters or words that cannot be read due
     to the quality of the original document
  *  [Passenger crossed off]  Usually when a passenger is crossed off it means
     they did not board but were on the list with those with tickets
