Transcriber's Notes:     
  * This ship was originally bound for Fall River, probably in 
    Massachusetts.
 #7 last letters in surname could be -cer.  It was not clear if this 
    passenger was included in the squiggly line which seemed to indicate 
    ditto for the other passengers' origin and destination.
