Discharge Reference Falkland Bank:
I hereby certify that Henry Purnell has served with me on board the ship F alkland Bank as sail maker on a voyage to South America and Sydney and fin ally return in this past time for 18 months and I can verify he is an exce llent seaman in every aspect.
J.A. Robbins
Master
Ship Falkland Bank
Liverpool
Febuary 14th 1901

Dadicated by Capt: J.A.Robbins to the Officers and Crew of ship Falkla nd Bank
In memory of carrying the first Original Cargo of Argentina Wheat around t he world and 8,000 miles over the distance.
Great attempts have been made to reach the Artic Pole,
Ships and property have been lost, with many precious souls,

But has a ship with the same cargo sailed around the world,
If not, I'll here mention one with canvas all unfurled.
The Falkland Bank a noble ship, one of the bank line,
Has spread her sails the last ten years, and shortened many a time.
Her voyages have been around Cape Horn, at all times of the year,
And safely returned to port, in lands both far and near.

This cargo mentioned was laden in the Argentine,
Her destination being Sydney, a port of great sublime
When on the passage to this port a storm she did contend,
Which caused this cargo to reshift, throwing ship on her beam ends.
But by hard work of her brave crew all was again made safe,
Again to put her on her course, to battle wind and wave,

Arriving safely at her port , and to the dock she went,
Her moorings were all made fast, Her sails were all unbent
The stevedore had his pennants rigged to land the grain on shore,
When orders from the merchant came, you must again unmoor,
And on to Europe you must sail, again around Cape Horn,
I know you would rather rest, your crew will look forlorn.
But this cargo has been sold in London far away,

To sea again you must now go; causing no delay,
And when you get to England, it's something new to state,
A cargo carried around the world, the first one up to date.
A fair attempt here I've made to explain it all to you,
So now my officers I will thank, likewise my gallant crew.

Notes:

There is a headstone to the memory of William Emblin in the graveyard of Stoke St. Michael Church, Somerset. According to information passed on by his daughter Cicely Browning (Nee Emblin) on 25 April 1999, William met Clara Preece, his wife to be, at their place of employment which was The Wells Lunatic Asylum, Somerset.
Cicely also stated at this time that William had three sisters named Polly, Emily and Sarah. She further stated that William's father was Edward R. Green, a farmer from Oakhill and that his mother Ann had been in this farmers employ and that he had purchased a house in Stoke Lane for Ann. These points are confirmation of the same information passed on by Greta Beryl Adams (Nee Emblin) at an earlier interview date. What part (if any) of this can be taken as the true fact is purely a matter of conjecture. It may simply have been a family story that fitted in nicely with the situation.
