Can sks please help me with the occupation of Daniel Ambrose, on the second line of

Source Citation: Class: RG 9; Piece: 838; Folio: 90; Page: 11

I am reading it as "Dealer in Marine Stores" but am doubting myself as Hemel Hempstead was a little land locked when I was there a few weeks ago lol

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
