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 above:
 Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
 Whether a Polygamist=no
 Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
 Whether having any deformities=no 
Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.

1    Kanaka is a slang word for Hawaiian.  
5    First letter logically should be a "J" but it lacks the tail below the line of the "J"
     in Johnstone.  It could be an "I."  Seaman is written above Farmer in the occupation
     column.
6    age is not recorded.
7-14 Haw Exhto probably refers to Hawaiian Exhibition.  There are a number of ships with
     passengers whose fare was paid thus.
