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.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

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

  The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns
  is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons.  "Male" and "Female" in the
  Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.


 11-12  Surname is possibly "Bolan" or "Boleen".
 13-14  Family surname appears to be written both as "Qurroga" and "Quoroga".
 18     Given name is not clearly written and cannot be deciphered with certaijnty,
        but name might possibly be "Sam" or "Tim".
