The Allegheny & Monongahela Rivers by Dan Antion
Welcome back to the weekly serial about a #steampunk riverboat, my chuckaboos. Last time, The Delta Pearl reached a spot at my fictional version of Cairo, Illinois where there is a confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
Dan Antion of No Facilities sent some of his photos to illustrate that kind of meeting of rivers. If you follow Dan, you know he has experience with riverboats. One of his posts you will see the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers as they form the Ohio.
As you’ll recall, the Dealer reminded us that the Pearl, can be just as sensitive to that kind of convergence as she is to borders and boundaries. We saw proof as the deck of the riverboat came to life and grabbed Èmeraude’s ankle when she started to…

Welcome my chuckaboos. Thanks for being patient while the steampunk riverboat, The Delta Pearl was in unknown waters. Today she’s back!
This is a brief episode, to get my toes back into the water. Even so, I was able to use a “random reader thing.” It’s from GP Cox, who suggested Icepick. Immediately, I thought of the Dealer using it as a weapon. However, it popped right up in a different way. You’ll see what I mean.
Last time Émeraude learned more about Victor T. Elam, the young inventor who sets her young heart aflutter. His sad past gained her empathy and ours as well. Maybe those two will go ashore together for a little R&R. Let’s see.
All aboard!

Wonderful read Teagan,

Welcome my chuckaboos. In the Victorian Era “chuckaboo” was the term for a dear friend, and that’s what all of you are to me. Because of you, I’m here with the steampunk riverboat, The Delta Pearl!
I was able to use two “random reader things” for this episode. First, from John W. Howell we have a petite poule dish.
The next thing prompted me to provide a link to a free book. Pat (e-Quips) mentioned David Copperfield, so here’s a link where you can get the book free, in a variety of formats, at Project Gutenberg.
This time we go back to Émeraude and Victor. Will a romance ever result? It’s hard to tell at this point, but we learn more about our young inventor.
All aboard!

Welcome back, my chuckaboos. I’m here with the steampunk riverboat, The Delta Pearl! This chapter is short, but it’s completely new — it was not part of the original version.
Even though it’s brief, I managed to use one “random reader thing.” Deborah Zajac gave us Renoir. It just happens to show a lady with a pair of long gloves, that G. P. Cox mentioned, but I’ll save those as a “thing” for later. (Winks)
Shall we?
All aboard!

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Dance in the City, 1883 Wikipedia
Porters and maids secretly searched every cabin on the Delta Pearl. Deck hands riffled through each article of stowed baggage or cargo. The crates included a valuable Renoir painting, which Randal Needleman was transporting.
Yet the Pharaoh Diamond was…
