Perhaps the most interesting of all the recent additions to the Clyde fleet is Talisman, built in 1935 for the London & North Eastern Railway, for in her are incorporated entirely new features in that she is a paddle boat driven by diesel-electric engines.

She led her lady mateys to great riches, eventually becoming captain of yet another crew, this time of male pirates who were entranced by her beauty and devoted to her badassness.

But in other points, as well as this, I was growing very lenient to my master; I was forgetting all his faults, for which I had once kept a sharp look-out. It had formerly been my endeavour to study all sides of his character; to take the bad with the good; and from the just weighing of both, to form an equitable judgment. Now I saw no bad.
