Captain Newcome is shaved roughly on the Equator in
Captain Newcome is shaved roughly before being dunked in a tub of bilge water on the Equator. A sailor dressed as Neptune holds a trident and sits on a throne on a gun carriage. Other midshipmen in wigs as Naiads blow horns. Another holds a rough iron hoop used as a shaving razor.
