A WELLINGTON BOY IN SOUTHERN
WATERS.


Harry Morgan, of the United States Navy
on Board the Ship, Iris, Tells OF Some
Experiences is Now "Son of Nep-
tune"
We left New York, October, IA, at noon,
heading for Bahia, Tor San Saliva
DOR Brazil. The speed Of thIs ship is
nine or ten knots at her best. We struck
a squall off Hatteras and weathered 1t
safe. Everything that was not lashed
tight, was rolled, tossed, and mixed to-
gether. Ham, bacon, eggs, milk, cheese,
lard oil, OH what fine layout, when
morning dawned, there were only about
sixteen Of us that was not Sea-sick.
never 'heayed to- once, or lost meal.
We are running out Of the course Of nav
igation: can see no land. and have only
sighted one sail. Water, water, moth
ing but water. No more "Home on the
Rolling Deep" for this boy. We are
across the line, and I ana now q fSon Of
Neptune This Is how it happened.
All thossS who had crossed the lin8 before,
rugged a large sail on the quarter deck,
in the form of a basin, and run two hose
into 1t until there was between three
and four feet Of water there. 1t was
about fifteen feet long by ten wide.
Two sailors dressed as Neptune and wife,
took charge Of the ship, and naked sail
ors acted as marshals, to bring the un-
iniated into the super structure, where
we were seated in a chair facing for
ward.
No sooner were we seated, than our
faces were treated to a coat Of black
paint, mixed with grease, then we we're
shaved with large wooden razor, made
to take big black pill, then picked
quickly from our seat and hurled back
ward into the miniature sea, where we
were grabbed by another set Of Neptune
helpers, called mermaids and ducked to
the satisfaction Of the crowd. As soon
as we came to the surface, both hose
were turned on us, one in the face, and
the other in the back Of our neck, then
as we crawled out Of that sea, onto the
deck, we were welcomed by Neptune
who gave us his word never to mOlest
us again, as we passed through his sac
red domain. After the above ceremony
is gone through with, you are given
certificate to prove you have crossed the
line. II an officer has not crossed, he
gets the same dose, no matter If it is the
captain, unless, he Immediately gives a
ransom OF one case Of beer to Neptune.
This the only chance Jack has to dictate
to commanding officer. There is lot
Of ceremony at the beginning Of the fun,
when old Neptune comes aboard, receives
the captains welcome, and takes pos
session Of the ship. Then he says; "Ah! /
see many old friends here, but there are
some new faces, how is it that any
should dare cross my domain without
seeing msp Slaves, seize them, and
make them one with usp' This occurred
on Monday, October 81 at 3 p. m. and
the crossing was made at S6e west long,
itude.
| lido not know how long we remain
here. We have not been ashore yet
