Murphy
Major Ernest Gambier-Parry OBE (25 October 1853 - 15 April 1936) was a British military officer who participated in an expedition to the Sudan to avenge the grisly death of a renowned general in 1885. However, the wounds he sustained in that campaign ended his military career. Gambier-Parry was also known for his work as an author, musician, and artist. He succeeded to the manor at Highnam Court following the death of the composer Sir Hubert Parry.

Sketches of a Yachting Cruise
Excerpt from Sketches of a Yachting Cruise: By Gambier-Parry A preface to a volume such as this is unnecessary save one count - as an apology. The places referred to are already familiar to many, and the road traversed is year by year becoming familiar to many more. All there is to tell has been told: the choicest flowers by the way-side have been picked long since, and those that are left have lost their freshness. It would be idle, then, to pretend that anything new will be found in these Sketches. The most I can hope for is that they may recall happy days to those, whose lives are now spent in harness, and whose time and increasing responsibilities no longer allow leisure for foreign trav...
