First editions of these two privately printed yachting memoirs for the 115-foot Steam Yacht “Angela†built originally the storied yacht building firm - Camper & Nicholsons Ltd. in 1896 and owned by the seed merchant and advertising display inventor Gilbert Beale. The Angela featured three state rooms for passengers and all fitted with private bath as well as dining drawing and smoking rooms. The first voyage stretched seven weeks through the Mediterranean and into the Atlantic to Shoreham UK including stops at Barcelona Tarragona Valencia Cartagena Alicante Malaga Gibraltar Cadiz Lagos Lisbon Vigo Santander Bayonne Bordeaux La Pallice Le Palais Brest and Jersey Island. At the start of the first trip the party learned that the captain hired for the cruise “threw a 3 days’ drunk so G.ilbert after a consultation with the Consular shipping agent paid him off and engaged Captain Lafuebre.†Reginald Beale’s 1877-1952 cruise narrative while chatty often refers to the less than stellar weather and uninspiring ports visited such as when referring to Marseille that “every wheeled vehicle is fitted with a bulb horn which the drivers use with irritating frequency. . . the wind the dusts the lack of paint and in excess of poster the shabbiness.†In Barcelona he writes about the night life at the “Eden†that they “sat down to a procession of homely women who snapped castanets sang songs which no one seemed to appreciate and danced Spanish fashion by wriggling the body and stamping the feet.†The photos depict ships & sailing yachts points of interest the beaches at Santander Canadian canoes at Bordeaux the Saint-Philibert ferry and more. Even with the disappointments of “dull people and duller towns†they all enjoyed the great adventure. The second voyage sets out from Southampton to Cannes in the “Angela†in 1934 where it was sold to Mr. & Mrs. Roditi and they returned via the RMS Strathnaver a P&O Steam Navigation Co. ocean liner launched originally in 1931. After leaving Southampton in the evening and viewing Bournemouth the Angela rolled so heavily in the middle of the night that they fastened everything down and rode it out until arriving in Brest. He has included photos of the La Reine des Anges sailing vessel the Artiglio merchant ship at Brest the three-masted “Galatea†at Ferrol as well as the Jaime I Spanish dreadnought battleship launched in 1921 the HMS Ramillies and writes about listening to the launching of the RMS Queen Mary Sept. 26 1934. Gilbert Beale 1868-1967 and his younger brother Reginald were longtime directors and executives with the Carter & Co. Seeds in Great Britain and Gilbert was noted for inventing and patenting seed packet displays. The first voyage featured William Edgecumbe Rendle and his wife who was an innovative inventor of special glazed panels for greenhouses often used by vineyards in England as well as shades for fruit-trees and plants.

Cocker with 5 other Autograph Letter Signed or copy letters in support of Yate to Cocker or to Edward Bloxsome the Berkeleys' solicitor in Dursley concerning a MS 'Romance' which Yate had bought from Captain Thomas Ashe the Irish writer and adventurer 1770-1835 intending to publish it under his own name but realising it libelled Lady Berkeley had offered to Lady B. for what he had paid Ashe leading to threats of obtaining money from the Berkeleys with menaces the correspondence traces Yate's protestations of innocence in trying to 'protect' Lady B. his rearguard action final apology and delivery of the MS also present are 2 printed items bearing Yate's name the first dated June 1812 altered in Yate's hand to March 1814 to 'Sir' on the face of it a circular letter inviting comments on the 'Syllabus' on the conjugate sheet not present but with every appearance of blackmailthe second dated 1811 again altered to March 1814 about Yate's book on Parliamentary Reform the letters 32 sides 4to. 56 including blanks and addresses the printed items 4 sides 4to. plus 2 blank old green boards c. November 1813 - 22nd March one letter repaired without loss occasional dust marks stitching loose in places spine defective In the letter of c. November 1813 Yate recalls to the Countess "the Difference. which existed between Lady B: & Captain Ashe & which ended in the abortion of a work composed by that celebrated & ingenious Writer on purpose & written under the sanction of Lady B: & which now Mr. Y: conceives is in her possession. The Mss: Mr. Y: has purchased. originated from that untoward circumstance & tho' compiled perhaps under the irritation of conceived ill-usage & disappointed hopes yet Mr. Y: fearlessly asserts it is a classical interesting & well-founded work; & which the terrors of the Law cannot suppress.". Later he concedes that the "Romance. certainly appeared" to refer to "a public occurrence the revival of which. might be painful to the family" 8th March 1814. The beautiful and capable Lady B. was the daughter of the local butcher. She married the 5th Earl in 1796 having previously borne him four sons. After her husband died in 1810 it is rumoured that she received an offer of marriage from the Duke of Clarence. The "public occurrence" no doubt was the failure in 1811 of Col. Berkeley to establish his claim to the Earldom. It was held that the 5th Earl had falsified the parish register to make Col. Berkeley appear born in wedlock. Yate asks Cocker not to reveal his address as he is avoiding his creditors. With a checklist. Item Date Page From To 1813: 1. Sun. Nov. 49 Yate Oxford Lady Berkeley. 1814: 2.
