There is a very long article, which appears to be about your missing sailor, available in the British Newspaper Archive. The 'John Bull' newspaper, Saturday 2 March 1929, page 12 of 42.
It's very long so I can't copy it all here, but it includes a photo of a Charlie Atkin and some of these details.
He went by Charlie Atkin and was on a ship from Hull. Annoyingly the print is a bit blurry but it could be Leslie or Lesvic. It was owned by Robert Rix and Sons of Hull.
He went missing in February of 1927. He was attending a carnival in Antwerp, appeared to be in good spirits and had money in his pockets. He never returned to the ship as promised.
His parents, Mr and Mrs J.C. Atkin only found out weeks later. Their address is given as 31, Albert Street, Spalding.
The 'John Bull' newspaper says others have gone missing in a similar way. No mention of him having a wife. The article speculates about what might have happened to him, including being drugged and robbed and dropped in the harbour. His parents admit he spoke about Australia often and there is a slim chance he went there.
The John Bull is calling for an investigation.
I hope it helps, it does seem like a good fit to what you were posting about.
