Transcriber's Notes:    

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
  the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes.

? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
  condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

^ Indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted.

			
33,34  A hand drawn wavy line, sometimes forming 2 had been drawn somewhere
       between 33 and 34 to separate cabin from steerage passengers. 
34-44  Those below 34 were all squeezed in and in the occupation column was
       written vertically "Lally's Gentlemen". Maybe this was a theatrical troupe.
