Transcriber's Notes:
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are
included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.
Passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp that varies depending on the disposition
of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have one of the following stamps:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by
Insp's (blank for a name, in this case Grant).
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number. These passengers are bound for a
further port.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were probably allowed
to land, but not to freely enter the country.
Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
The following columns had identical entries and are not included in the table:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
An extra column has been added, the second. The heading is written in at the top of the
first page and is essentially illegible. It appears to be a ticket number. The third
column also has a heading written in "S Certi." This information is a date for some
passengers and a number for others. This information is not completed for passengers
not bound for San Francisco.
27 Seong Am Wong is written above this name. There is no indication what it means.
39-46 If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts column entries are not legible.
63 Guaranteed is written in the No of Certificate column and then crossed out.
68-75 Fem is written in.
96 is with his uncle #17
108 is with his father #72
130 is with cousin #124
