Arthur Edwin's half-brothers cut him out of the family business when their father died. Arthur Edwin was penniless and began to sell newspapers outside the family boiler maker business to embarrass his half-brothers. He had a friend break into the factory and steal back his own tools, then left for Australia. On the was his taxi broke down in the Blackwall tunnel, so he missed his sailing. His tools were already on board, Whilst the taxi was being repaired the driver was heard to say it was the easiest pound he had ever earned as Rossetta (an older half-sister) had paid him to break down.
