Transcriber's Notes: 
   
 * The use of an * indicates an omission, error or an explanation of
   notations made by the original recorder.
 ? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the
   quality of original document.
 ^ The use of an ^ indicates the latter part of the name was superscribed. 
   This manifest was numbered by the transcriber. 


  7      Surname could be Hallers.
 17      The given name was written as transcribed, there was no beginning capital
         letter to indicate what the name really is. 
 30      Surname could be Peterpu.
 40      Surname could be Berty.
 45      Although no date was recorded, it is probable that this passenger died during
         the voyage as his name is transcribed in the "died" column.
 98      There was no given name listed for this passenger.
105      Surname could be Hinlock.
106      Surname could be Schrog.
120      Surname could be Malongh.
123      Age could be 15.
125      Because the y from the surname above covers the unknown letter it is impossible
         to decipher it.  It could be Cabaly, Cadaly, or Canaly.
140-141  Occupation looks like "Tree Merat" or "Tree Meraty", but transcriber
         could not find any word or occupation that coincided with these spellings.
145-147  Surname could be Sangonpic.
164      Although this passenger is listed as male, the given name is clearly Norma.
169      Surname could be Sornger or Songer.
170      Name transcribed as written.
173-175  In the occupation column for passenger 173 was written Ohglnd, then crossed
         out, but then dittoed for passengers 174 and 175.  Country of origin was 
         also written as Endlnd, but this transcriber believes that to be England.
201      Surname could be Barty.
