Transcriber's Notes:
Passengers were numbered from 1 - 30 on each page, passengers have been
numbered continuously for ease of transcribing and referencing.
HEAD TAX STATUS was blank for all passengers, therefore the coloumn was eliminated.
All passengers have numbers such as 3/3660 or 3/5656 written in the "able to read which
language" coloumn. These numbers indicate that a reading test was done. The first number,
3 in this case, is a language code, the next set of numbers is the number for a specific
sentence.
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^ Indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted.
Names were transcribed as written regardless of spelling.
