Inchgreen departed Lyttleton for London on the 16th of April and this was marked the following day in the Star, wherein Archibald’s “general urbanity” and the “handsomeness” of his ship” were both praised. Inchgreen returned directly to England, where she arrived in London on the 19th of July. From London, she sailed for Liverpool.
Whilst in Liverpool, Archibald married Mary Uquhart on the 15th of August 1878 at the Wavertree Congregational Chapel in Liverpool. . His bride was born about 1842 to William, a mill foreman, and Charlotte (née Barron) Urquhart. Following their marriage, Mary accompanied her new husband on his subsequent voyage to the Antipodes.
When Inchgreen pulled out of the Thames in September, Samuel Crawford Kennedy, Archibald’s nephew by a half-sister, was aboard serv-ing as boatswain. From London, Inchgreen made her way to Australia, arriving in Sydney on the 18th of December. She came bearing four Her-eford cattle, a cargo that signified the end of a prohibition on importing British livestock that had been in place since 1873.
From Sydney, Inchgreen moved up the coast to Newcastle, from whence she departed on the 19th of February 1879 for Yokohama, Ja-pan. This was Archibald’s final voyage at sea and upon his return to Scotland he settled down to life
