On a passenger list from 27 April 1902, SS Marion, image no. 3:

http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=8745&path=1902.04.Merion.3&sid=&gskw=&cr=1

On line 27, I find the code "X-978" written across column no. 4 and 5. I also have problems interpreting colum 6 and 11 and 12 for the same person.
From what I have learned, a "X" to the left of the passengers name would mean that the person was detaind.
Does this mean the same, and will the "978" give the reason?
I will be very grateful to anyone that can help me solve any of these problems.

Only other subscribers to Ancestry.com can read that link.

Perhaps the "Manifest Markings" website can help you interpret the document.

I have tried there - without sucess. They explain other codes, but not this one.

I was aware that one have to be a subscriber to Ancestry to open the link I gave, but had a hope that somone might have that access.
So far, I have not found a way to copy a picture into this forum - if there is, I will do that.
