After we left Freetown we headed south through the tropical seas and the crossing of the Line Ceremony took place, some unfortunates were grabbed lathered up with a very large brush and shaved by King-Neptune who used a six foot razer.they could'nt catch me I was half way up one of the mast.We used to shower on the open deck mainly at night in sea water and we never ceased to be amazed at the many coloured sparks
which used to cover us from head to toe.when we looked over the side the
ocean was alive on the surface with colour. After zig-zagging for about two weeks we docked in Capetown.We were mobbed by the residents taken to their homes and treated like royalty
Two days later loaded with fresh food and water we set off around the cape through very stormy weather reached the Indian ocean and headed
north, finally after seven weeks and four days we landed in Egpyt.
