Excerpt from The Stuff of a Man
With the clung of bell, and chug and jar, and the swish of waters broken by the wheel; with the babel of orders and all the small tinklings and rattlings that swell the pomp of a steamboat's departure from a landing, the M oming Light swung into the current of the Ohio and started upon her weekly trip down its yellow stream.
