Davy Jones comes on board USS Pickens

To shipmates -- Let's go back to June 8, 1945.  The USS Pickens, traveling with other APA's and an AKA, was headed to New Caledonia when Davy Jones and his one-legged companion, came on board and informed the captain that the ship would cross the equator June 10.  At that time Neptune Rex would board the ship and all Pollywogs would be initiated into the mystic rites of the sea.
