Transcriber's Notes:

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

There seems to be a page of names missing on this list because the first page containing the 
sworn statemen constains only that paragraph.  And then, at the end of the list the number 127 
is written twice indicating that there were 127 passengers.  

The first passengers on this list must have  been in steerage whereas the last seven 
are listed as Cajuts Passengers, i.e. cabin passengers.
