The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation at the end of the Manifest. This manifest appears to be a sheet which has been torn in half cross-wise. Apparently this was the entire manifest of passeners. An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further explains the entry. A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the letter/letters may be. A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
