Transcriber's Notes
There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
No month was written into the blank for date of arrival but two days is the sailing time for 
 other ships from Victoria to San Francisco; this ship appears in the midst of other August 
 arrivals on the film, and is identified in the index on the film as arriving in August.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not included in the 
 table:
 Able to Read & Write=yes
 Seaport for Landing in the US=San Fran
 Final Destination in the US=San Fran
 Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes
 By whom was passage paid?=himself
 Whether going to join Relative or Friend=No 
 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 
The number indicated by * in the Whether in Possession of Money column is written with the final 
 two zeros elevated above the line with a line drawn under them, as one would do to indicate cents.


1, 2 & 3 have all been to San Francisco 1892.
