He received the See also:gold See also:medal of the Royal See also:Geographical Society on his return.and was given command of the " See also:Phoenix," in which he made three trips to the See also:Arctic, bringing See also:home part of the See also:Belcher Arctic expedition in 1854. In that See also:year he was again sent out on the last See also:attempt made by the See also:Admiralty to find Sir John Franklin.
In the See also:Crimean See also:War Captain Inglefield took part in the See also:siege
of See also:Sevastopol. He was knighted in 1877, and nominated a See also:Knight Commander of the See also:Bath ten years later. He was promoted admiral in 1879. Besides being an excellent marine artist, he was the inventor of the See also:hydraulic steering See also:gear and the Inglefield See also:anchor. He died on the 5th of See also:September 1894. His son, Captain Edward Fitzmaurice Inglefield (b. 1861), became secretary of Lloyds in 1906. Sir Edward Inglefield's See also:brother, Rear-Admiral V. O.

INGLE-NOOK (from See also:Lat. igniculns, dim. of ignis, See also:fire), a corner or seat by the fireside, within the See also:chimney-See also:breast. The open Tudor or Jacobean fire-See also:place was often wide enough to admit of a wooden See also:settle being placed at each end of the See also:embrasure of which it occupied the centre, and yet far enough away not to be inconveniently hot. This was one of the means by which the builder sought to avoid the See also:draughts which must have been extremely frequent in old houses. See also:English literature is full of references, appreciatory or regretful, to the cosy ingle-nook that was killed by the See also:adoption of small grates. See also:Modern English and See also:American architects are, however, fond of devising them in houses designed on See also:ancient See also:models, and owners of old buildings frequently remove the modern grates and restore the See also:original arrangement.
