Travelled with, and never given a number

  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Anatol Mosewicki, born about 1914 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1913, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at San Francisco in 1941 fits the route through Japan, so the entry is taken as this person's under the archive's rule of 19 September 2026 for records from the route.
