Transcriber's Notes:
*The numbering system employed is that of the transcriber and not of the lister.
The original document consisted of two pages, each numbered 1-30. Lister used
these numbers and at times partially filled a page. Transcriber numbered consecutively.
*Place of last residence: At bottom of manifest page: "The last country in which
alien resided with the intention of remaining as long as one year shall be the
last permanent residence regardless of length of actual residence therein"
A ? indicates letter or letters which could not be read because of the quality
of the document. The parentheses is used to add comments of transcriber and to
clarify where necessary - they were not that of the lister himself.
Passenger 207 begins the second cabin passengers through and including 547.
The following passengers had "Non Immigrant Alien" stamped over Col.10-Last
Perm. address: 209, 210, 212, 213, 214, 218, 219, 220, 224, 231, 232.
*Passengers 221 and 222. These two may or may not be husband and wife. He lists
a wife in England, (mother had been crossed out) but Pass.222's final
destination has been changed to the same as his. They appear to be sharing
the money, yet she lists her US destination as an aunt, who is Passenger 231.
The aunt's address as it is written is probably the same street address barely
legible for Passenger 222. Is this an erroneous assumption on the part of the
lister, or is Pass. 222 going first to visit her Aunt and then to husband in
Tarrytown?
It is worth noting that Passenger 55 was famed author W. Somerset Maugham
(1874-1965), best known for the novel "Of Human Bondage".
