I, Cap Ettore Zar, Master, of the "Presidente Wilson" from Trieste, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that I have caused the surgeon of said vessel sailing therewith, or the surgeon employed by the owners thereof, to make a physical and mental examination of each and all of the aliens named in the foregoing Lists or Manifest Sheets, thirty in number, and that from the report of said surgeon and from my own investigation, I believe that no one of said aliens is of any of the classes excluded from admission into the United States by section three of the Immigration Act, and that also, according to the best of my knowledge and belief, the information in said Lists or Manifests concerning each of said aliens named therein is correct and true in every respect.

Transcriber's Notes:

  Passenger numbers have been assigned by ISTG.

  Manifest lists country first, for ease in reading city has been typed first.

  Country states Jugoslavia and not Yugoslavia.

  Permanent residence within the meaning of this manifest shall be actual or
  intended residence of one year or more.

  Column 2 is used for Government officials only (this is blank except for 
  passengers under 16 yrs. and for those there's a stamp "UNDER 16").

  Columns 14-32 are under the section listed as 
  "Arriving at Port of New York July 4th, 1921".

  In several cases the passenger is traveling with another relative and in
  column 12 this is indicated (Accomp. by the mother).

  In several cases, there are numbers and dates notated.  It is customary 
  for notation to be made at the time of the ship's arrival or after
  the ship's arrival, possibly several years later. For more information,
  please see the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) website:
  Glossary of Passenger List Annotations

Reviewer's Notes:
 
The passengers that are not US citizens have numbers, such as 1648 or 4648, 
written in the language coloumn. This means that they were tested for their reading ability. 
Usually there is a number in front of the group of four. The first number represents a number 
for a certain language, the other numbers are a number for a certain sentence.
