SEATTLE", "COMORA, S", "Rate BM 2(?)/e", the body of the card reads: "This entitles the bearer to leave ship on liberty when so authorized and to pass through navy yard gates. This card must be shown to O. O. D. when leaving, and must be deposited in box on quarterdeck upon return to ship. Use of this card for other than authorized liberty or by other than the person named is an offense" "LOSS OF THIS CARD WILL RESULT IN DISCIPLINARY ACTION" and the bottom is signed by "J. M.
