TULLOH. (Lieut., 1811. f-p., 20; h-p., 24.)
John Tulloh entered the Navy, 3 May, 1803, as Ordinary, on board the Raisonnable 64, Capts. Wm. Hotham, Thos. Vivion, and Robt. Barton, employed in the North Sea, in the Downs, and on the coast of Ireland. In March, 1805, he removed as Midshipman (a rating he had already attained) to the Combatant 20, Capt. Hon. Geo. Elliot; with whom he continued to serve in the Aurora 28 and Modeste 36, again in the Downs, and in the Mediterranean and East Indies, until nominated, 1 May, 1810, Acting-Lieutenant, on the latter station, of the Dasher sloop, Capts. Robt. Worgan Geo. Festing, and Wm. Kelly. In Oct. 1808 the Modeste, after a running action of nearly an hour, in which she had her Master killed and 1 seaman wounded, captured La Jena French national corvette, of 18 guns (pierced for 24) and 150 men. In April, 1811, Mr. Tulloh, whose commission bears date 12 March in that year, removed from the Dasher to the Illustrious 74; in which ship, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Wm. Robt. Broughton, he co-operated in the reduction of Java. In May, 1813, about 12 months after he had returned to England, he was placed in command of a gun-boat in the river Elbe, where he remained until the early part of 1814, and was in consequence present in the operations against Cuxhaven and Gluckstadt.[1] His last appointment afloat was to the Archer sloop, Capt. Wm. Slaughter; in which vessel, stationed in the Downs, he served from 20 July to 4 Sept. 1815. He has been employed, since 9 Feb. 1837, in the Naval Hospital at Plymouth.
