Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder. There were no deaths on the voyage, therefore the Death column has been eliminated. The signature for the Collector of the District is very difficult to read. The first letter of the first name is a definite B, the second letter could be either e or l, and the third letter is definitely an r. The surname could be Chim or Chiw.
