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.
For passengers bound for San Francisco, 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 the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case Grant). Many of these passengers have a place name written over
the stamp. Where a blank is transcribed in this column no place has been written in. Where
there is a question mark the entry is illegible.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Refused 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).
For passengers bound for a further port there are two possible dispostions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Occupation is universally recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese
Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already
in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United States from
curiosity."
Apparently the two passengers refused at Honolulu were not added to the final total in the
Recapituation.
18 There is a barely legible note. The best reading is "father 79 & 159 May ????."
33 under "Wife of Merchant" it says Ping Kow Dupont St.
51 says "father 100 Korea" followed by what seems to be an illegible date.
79 says "with his cousin #103."
