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:
 Sex=Male
 Able to Read & Write=yes
 Nationality=Japanese
 Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco
 By whom was passage paid?=himself
 Whether in Possession of Money-if less than $30, how much?=yes    
 Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
 Whether a Polygamist=no
 Whether under contract to labor in the US=no

2  Last time in the US was in San Francisco July 1893.
12 was in Phildelphia in July 1893.  The Whether Going to Join Relative 
   column says "no, with his brother."  Despite the fact that his 
   brother apparently is #13, the surname of #12 is spelled Yamagi 
   and that of #13 Yamaji.
