Transcriber's Notes: 
    
The use of * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the
  quality of the original document.

I assume that the two passengers came to New York from St John, 
Newfoundland. Passenger #1 originated from Scotland and passenger 
#2 originated from Newfoundland.
