Articles for Army use must be covered by a similar certificate from the proper military authority; and the vessel conveying them must carry no other articles. Goods for traffic cannot pass the blockade except under a treasury permit. No other permit or paper is now recognized by the blockading officers." Signed as Rear Admiral, Commanding N.A.B. Squadron.
