Transcriber's Notes:
* Column 2; Head Tax Status shows stamp "admit under 16" for all children
* 913 - 915; Fuk, in column "race", "germ" appears to be written over " Slovenian"
* 903 has written "bro 20 & 9"
Reviewer's Note:
Some of the passengers have numbers like 3612 and 1614 written in the read/write
coloumn. Usually these numbers have another digit in front, separated by a -. This shows
that the passengers were tested for their reading ability. The first number is a number
for the language, the next 4 numbers are the number for a sentence they had to read.
