'Yes, it was. Well, I can't be quite sure. But in many respects that girl was my ideal; she really was. 'As you once or twice told me at the time. 'I really believe she would rank above Miss Embleton at all events from my point of view. And that's everything, you know. It's the effect a woman produces on one that has to be considered. 'The next should be a paragon, said Jasper. 'The next?
He had been restored to his honours as Knight of the Bath by the Queen in 1854. He was appointed Rear-admiral of the Fleet, and a month later was named by Prince Albert as honorary Brother of the Trinity House. He died on the 31st of October, 1860, at the age of eighty-five. Stephen Embleton went no more to sea.
On the fifth morning when the ships got up anchor there were no signs of movement on board the Chacabuco, nor was any attention paid to the admiral’s signals. “Mr. Embleton, take one of the gigs, row on board, and report what is the matter there.” Stephen did so. The approach of the boat was apparently unobserved, and the companion-ladder was not lowered.
The well-known journalist, W.T. Stead, was born in the parish of Embleton, though his childhood was passed in very different surroundings, in the narrow streets and grimy atmosphere of Howdon-on-Tyne. His recent death on the ill-fated Titanic will be fresh in the minds of all. Newton-by-the-Sea is reached by a pleasant walk along the sea-shore.
Next came that girl at the stationer's you remember? She was distinctly an advance, both in mind and person. Then there was Miss Embleton; yes, I think she made again an advance.

'The maiden from Birmingham, wasn't it? said Jasper, again exploding.
Embleton, get him one good suit for going ashore, another rougher suit for duty on board, half-a-dozen duck suits for the tropics, and two or three suits of dungaree for slipping on over the others when there is dirty work to be done. The cap is sufficient to indicate the officer. As for the rest of his outfit, your own experience will tell you what is needed.
“Good morning, Mr. Hewson!” he said. “We are all in the rough, you see. One hardly expects visitors on her first day of fitting out.” “We all know that, captain. This is Lieutenant Embleton of the royal navy, and this is his son, of whom I was speaking to you two days ago.” “I am glad to meet you, sir,” the captain said, shaking hands with Mr.
“We must not be too lavish,” Stephen said, “as we do not know how long we may have to wait here. I propose for breakfast that we have biscuits only, then for dinner we will have some meat and biscuits again, and for supper cold meat and cakes. How much meat do you think there is, Wilcox?” “There is supposed to be a hundred and a half in that cask, Mr. Embleton.”
When Lord Cochrane returned to England Stephen went at once down to Portsmouth. “I should have done better if I had come back with you, Embleton. I should have spared myself nearly two years of trial, humiliation, and disgust, and should have been a good many thousand pounds in pocket. What are you doing with yourself?” “I am doing nothing at present, sir.
Two days later I got the official appointment with orders to join at once. I found Cochrane in a very bad temper. He said, ‘What do you think, Embleton, that confounded cruise of mine in the Arab has ruined me in the opinion of the sailors.
