FATHER NEPTUNE
Father Neptune, hoary monarch, who has soused millions of travellers as they crossed the Equator in ocean liners, has taken up flying. Passengers crossing “the line” for the first time in Imperial Airways’ flying boats will receive from now on an elaborate “Certificate of Contemporary Travel.” The Imperial flying boats cross the Equator over Lake Victoria, the huge inland sea on the borders of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanganyika, as they pass between Southampton and Durban. On the India-Australia route they pass over latitude zero at the Lingga Archipelago, southward from Singapore.
