There are several instances in the Carpenter Collection of Hilo Boys by Mr Edward Robinson, who lived at 11 Trafalgar Square, Sunderland, was born in 1834, and his first ship was the collier Halcyon 1846.

However, of the 146 tracks on the Carpenter Collection double CD, there are six by Edward Robinson ranging from 16 to 27 seconds in length. None seem to fit the bill:
Cheerily Men
Fire Down Below
The Hogs Eye Man
A Hundred Years Ago
Paddy Doyle's Boots
Stormalong

So it looks like a trip to the LoC would be needed to access Carpenter's recordings, notations, or texts.
