* The use of an asterisk(*) indicateds an omission or error made by the
original recorder.

? The use of the question mark(?) indicates the film was too light to
read.

^ The use of the carot(^) indicates the subsequent letter was raised.

* No one died on the voyage so that column has been eliminated.
