Artwork by Roy D. Pounds II (a/k/a  steamfox)

This is to go with my story "Felis Ex Machina," which you can find on the Spontoon Island website at: http://spontoon.rootoon.com/SPwDrM03.html .

This shows the steamboat used by Marder's Minstrels for their performances. The narrator of the story, Dr. Meffit, can be seen in the foreground with Inspector Stagg.

Roy told me that he used a Catalina Island steamer as a model for the craft here.
