Transcriber's Notes:

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should refer.

  1-2  Surname is possibly "Brune" or "Bumm".  Country of citizenship is probably 
     "Prussia", but the country is so carelessly written, the country might possibly 
     be "Russia".
  2  Given name written as "Leoneta", but might actually be "Leonetta".
  3  Surname appears to be either "Casalla" or "Caralla". 
  4  Surname is possibly "Terry", Tarry" or "Tany".  Occupation appears to be written
     "US N.", likely an abbreviation for "U.S. Navy".
  5, 6 and 8  Surname appears to be either "Lucas" or "Lucar".
