Pilot, you know that short island channel at the New Liberty bend? We'll be pulling in there tonite before we get to the Mississipp......We need wood sure, but I have to pick up a load there too. Its not scheduled, but I don't think you need to worry about it. YOUR job is just to keep us afloat OK?

CABIN BOY!! Boy, I want you to find Mr Leej And tell him I have a job for him tonight.......No, don't tell him anything more and .....Hey!! Get back here kid......Ya' know that fine lookin' woman boarded in Cincy..Miz Fontaine? Well you take her this note with my compliments and tell her I wish her to dine with me in my cabin this evening.........

Ring up some more steam Pilot.....We're gonna' have to make up a little time now......Yeah, I know, but tonight's stop may put us behind.
