 1 - 5  bracketed with three chests.
 6      Age was written and blurred and looks like either 3/4 (meaning 9 months) or 34. The
        fact that this passeneger was the  first of the group that was bracketed suggests
        that her age was 34.
 6 - 9  bracketed with three chests.
10      had three trunks.
11 - 16 bracketed with two chests.
17, 18  bracketed with three chests.
