Transcriber's Notes:

  Extracted from The New York Times, March 9th 1867:
  "Ship Wm F. Storer, Capt. Bryant, departed Liverpool Jan. 19, with merchandise and 
  17 passengers to C. H. Mallory & Co.  On Jan. 20, Michael Lawton, seaman, while 
  reefing the foretopsail, fell from foreyard on deck, and was instantly killed".

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.  

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

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The transcriber numbers all the passengers even though they are not numbered on 
  the original manifest. 

  
 13     Surname appears to be either "Fraham" or "Fraharn".
 15-16  Surname is recorded as "Oslen", but might possibly be "Olsen".
