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 transcribers numbered the passengers consecutively 1-27, even though they
 are not numbered in the original manifest.

1  Surname is possibly "Simrall", "Simmall" or "Simvall".
2  Surname appears to be "Harkins", "Hankins", "Haskins" or "Hawkins".
6  Surname arrears to be either "Katari" or "Katani".
7  Although written as "Deila", given name might actually be "Delia".
