We found that the rela- tively high prices afforded few bargains to our souvenir hunters. The Tiger Balm Gardens gave us an- other chance to View the strange mix- ture of bright color and grotesque form Qrightj we had seen in The Gardens of Hong Kong. The famous Raffles Hotel and the NAAFI Club where we encountered Chin- ese, Indians, Malayans and Britons were favorite meeting places which we fre- quented in order to gird our strength for the ordeal facing us enroute to Ceylon - crossing the 'Equator I K , ..., . , L .Lf ' 7 1 ' XC 3 if .+ 15-yi , , f s . , V 0 ,QW 'Sao -4 s is. jvgwh X1 ff: 3 f 1 'fhgfz 7 - 'Bi 4 '1 K7 NZM?

IIIHISSI li IHI Hlllllllll We were underway from Singapore at 0634, 27 January after a hearty breakfast of an orange and dry cereal for all pollywogs QShellbacks had steak and eggsj and made a dash southeast in order to cross the equator. Before noon that same day we had entered the Domain of King Neptune flmperium Neptuni Regisy having crossed the line at longitude 103 degrees, 53 minutes East. King Neptune and his retinue had come aboard earlier and, after being greeted by the Captain, retired to the fantail where they presided over the initiation of the Pollywogs. Veteran Shellbacks Qsome of them had a hard time proving that they had already been accepted into the Realm of the Mysterious Deep and Raging Main, since they had lost their cer- tificatesj who had been saving the ship's garb- age and all the old hose they could find for the last month or so, eagerly and patiently under- took to instruct the Neophytes as can be seen in the accompanying photographs, After crossing the equator we reversed course and steamed for Ceylon.
