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.

1  Immediately beneath the name of this passenger, "Alex Dubury" is a name
   which appears to be "J. Smith".  The name "J. Smith" might represent the
   person who signed the manifest or it may be a part of passenger "Alex
   Dubury's" name, i.e., "Alex Dubury J. Smith".  Passenger's Occupation is
   clear, but appears to be written as "Lur", the meaning of which is unknown
   to the transcriber.
