That the King’s menage had. listened attentively to the advice 
of the senior shellback was very evident when a few moments 
later, with strident shouts and loud bellowings they took up 
their work upon the luckless pol'lywogs. "Doc" O’Connor was 
the first presidential ^arty pollywog to enter the windsail 
"tunnel” for entrance on the scene of action. TT e was followed 
in order by Steve Early and Fred Adams. All went well until 
the end of the tunnel was blocked by the feet of one shellback 
"policeman" whereupon progress stopped - much to the discon- 
forture of the crawling Pollywogs and particularly to Steve 
Early, who, with kindly epithets and endearing terms, implored 
Doc, "For God’s sake get out of here"*. On final emergence the 
three luckless ones were prodded by the "Royal Devils" Defore 
the Royal Court where sentence was passed. Steve Early was 
g i ven the entire "Royal Works", (through which he passed with 
flying colors) while Doc O’Connor and Fred Adams were fined 
one "buck" apiece and allowed to leave the field ox carnage, not 
however before the latter was clapped into the "stocks" for a 
trying two minutes.
