Konday - 25 July 1958 
In order to permit early arrival at Tagus Cove and to "cross 
the line officially" between 0830 and 0900, the - T ouston and 
McDougal got underway at 0658 and proceeded around the northern 
end of Albemarle Island, 
At 0550 as the "line" was crossed, King Neptune and his 
court and retinue "arrived" on board, was accorded full honors, 
and greeted by the Captain who in turn presented him to the 
President. The latter graciously and heartily received the 
King and his Court and abjured the former to deliver the "Royal 
Works” to all pollywogs aboard the TT ouston. This meeting was 
witnessed by the pollywogs of the Presidential Party, who, 
while preserving an outward mein of insouciance, were , in 
common with all pollywogs, inwardly quaking in their boots.
