CRGSSING THE LI The boisterous ceremonies of Crossing the Line are of such ancient vintage that their derivation is lost, such horse-play took place in the Middle Ages, and even before that when ships crossed the thirtieth parallel or passed through the Straits of Gibraltar. These early ceremonies were extremely rough and to a large degree were extremely rough and to a large degree were supposed to test the crew to determine whether or not the novices, the ' 'boots , on their first cruise could endure the hard- ships of a life at sea. Then, as now, it was primarily a crew's party on crossing certain parallels. lt is highly probable that the present day ceremony was passed on to the Angles, Saxons, and Normans from the Vikings. At an even earlier time there is record of ceremonies of propitiation. Neptune, the mythological god of the seas, was appeased by the seaman, and marks of respect were paid those of his under water domain. It is plausible that a part of the present ceremony grew out of the superstitious of those days, even though the Viking sailors had come to doubt the physical existence of Neptune. Nevertheless, Neptunus Rex is today the majesty who rules in the ceremonies. Those who have ' 'Crossed the Line are called the Sons of Neptune or ' 'Shellbacksf' Bona fide Sons of Neptune always compose the cast for present day ceremonies.
