Transcriber's Notes:
Passengers:
2 Francois Ha?man - last name could be Hanman or
Haaman, letter looks like an "a" only open.
10 M Henry Sh??lhem - last name could be Shielhem
or Schulhem, looks like a "u" but there is either
a written dot over the "u" or a written dot over the "u"
or a spot on the original copy.
15 M ?.?. Crooke - initials could be T.L.- there
aren't many other Ts to compare with, the L is close
but does not look exactly like the capital L in Laborer.
