THE ROYAL WURK At six o'c1ock on the morning on the 14th of October the TAUSSIG entered the Domain of NEPTUNUS REX, the Ruler of the Raging Main, at Latitude 00000 and Longitude 145 degrees 45 minutes East. At precisely that hour the Court of the Raging Main convened to try the cases of the 243 Pollywogs aboard and to sentence them accordingly that they may be initiated into the SOLEMN MYSTERIES OF THE ANCIENT ORDER OF THE DEEP, thus placating his Royal Majesty . As each neophyte mari- ner appeared before the Royal Prosecutioner and the Royal De- fense the charges were read and the sentenced adjudged after solemn thought and deliberation. Then, it was on to the Royal Executioner and the payment of the penalty for daring to enter the Royal Domain as a lowly Pollwog. After paying due respect to the Royal Baby and the Royal Princess the sanctification was complete and conferred upon us was that most lofty and honor- able title of SHELLBACK. King Neptune R0Ya1 Princess Royal Executioner
