Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were 
no deaths on this passage.

The original lister numbered the passengers.  

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality 
of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what 
the letter/letters may be.


15  This name is at the fold of the document, so is obscured.  One can clearly see the
    first name.  The last name seems to begin with "S" and the third letter is either a
    "g" or "y".  Otherwise, the letters are on the line, neither going above nor below
    the line.  Segars, Sayers?
