Transcriber's Notes
There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not included in the
table:
Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco
Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
Whether a Polygamist=no
Whether under contract to labor in the US=no
Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
Whether having any deformities=no
Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.
The numbers indicated by * in the Whether in Possession of Money column are written with the
final two zeros elevated above the line with a line drawn under them, as one would do to
indicate cents.
The first sheet of the manifest says "sailing from Auckland" in the blank provided. The second
and third sheets say "sailing from Sydney" in this blank. However, the second sheet says
"Melbourne" in the top left corner in addition.
1, 2 Battle Craigs is clearly written. Battle Creek is probably meant. Michigan is abbreviated
here to save space.

6 is going to join Brother, Richard Herring 450/52 Stevenson St SF.

Pidiero) Road SF. There are no thoroughfares called "road" in San Francisco now.

is shared by numbers 33 and 34.
35 is going to join a brother in SF, J Barrish.
36 has been to Philadelphia.
38 is going to join a sister at Wheeling O.
