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. "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.
