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. 

  The recorder listed the Occupations of most of the passengers as "None". While this was
  common practice for women and children passengers, it was not common practice for adult
  men, and indeed almost all adult men had an Occupation of some sort.  The meaning of 
  "None" in this manifest is not clear.  It might mean that the recorder either didn't ask
  or didn't record the passenger's Occupation, or the passenger did not disclose his 
  Occupation.  However, it is more likey that "None" here means that the adult male passenger
  was a general laborer without a specific trade such as mason, carpenter, butcher, etc.

         Baptised".

         certainty, but name is possibly "Eyrie" or "Eyree".
