Of the above 6 children were in the first class; 24 children were in the
second class; 79 children were in the third class; or 109 in all.
About 410 of the third-class passengers were foreigners, and these, with
the foreigners in the first and second class and in the victualing
department, would make a total of nearly 500 persons on board who were
presumably not English speaking, so far as it is possible to ascertain.
The disposition of the different classes of passengers and of the crew
in the ship has already been described (pp. 10-15). In all, 2,201
persons were on board.
