>From what I have researched of Passengers traveling from either Madeira or the Azores to Hawaii, there are instances of "stowaways" listed on the regular passenger manifests. However, It seems to be more likely that these individuals or families were accounted for and known to be aboard the ship, but were without the proper paperwork (e.g. passport documents etc.) and were therefore deemed "Clandestino" literally meaning stowaway.
I have a relative who falls under that category. He was from Madeira and was was listed on the passenger ship list like everyone else, however like many on the same page of the list it states he is a Clandestino. To double check idea that he did not have the proper paperwork, I went to the Arquivo Madeira website, and sure enough he does not show up on any of the searches for passports. Maybe someone could clarify if Clandestino had a different meaning in these cases.
