Transcriber's Notes:

  The recorder did not record the Sex nor the the Part of the vessel occupied by
  each passenger during the passage.

  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.

  
 25      Passenger's Age appears to be either 34 or 54.
 33      There is an acute accent mark over the final "e" in surname "Henle".
 43      There is an acute accent mark over the final "e" in surname "Carre".
 45      There is an acute accent mark over the first "e" in surname "Vallee".
