All following lines carry ditto marks in these columns. Column 12 has an "S" (pencil) beside each line. Column 15 reads "no" on line 1 and ditto on the following lines except where noted in the table.]

[Transcriber's note: Line 18 (the line in the file name): Krauser, Miklos, age 24, single, maker [the occupation word is overwritten; it may read "mason" or "waiter"], able to read and write, nationality Hungary [ditto], race German, last residence Sarafalva (written "Saravalva"), destination Philadelphia, Pa. The relative entries in column 16 run across two lines each and do not sit squarely on one passenger line; the alignment of those entries, and of the money amounts in column 14, to passenger lines is approximate. Elisabeth Krauser (card 14) lists her brother Miklos Krauser at 1219 Larrance St., Philadelphia. The handwritten marks at the left of lines 12 to 15 are pencil crosses (X) through the line numbers.]

[Transcriber's note: Uncertain readings: the ship's sailing date; the amounts in column 14; most street names and surnames in column 16; the occupation on line 18; and the nationality entries on lines 8 and 9, which are overwritten.]
