the same year he succeeded, in command of a boat, in driving on shore, under a heavy fire of musketry, an enemy’s supply and despatch boat, armed with a cohorn. On 16 Oct. 1808, at which period he had been for 10 months serving on the coast of North America in the Swiftsure 74, flag-ship of Sir John Borlase Warren, he was made Lieutenant into the Horatio 38, Capt. Geo. Scott, on the same station; where he was appointed, in the ensuing Nov. and in Aug. 1810, First of the Halifax 18, Capts. Lord Jas. Townshend, John Thompson, and Alex. Fraser, and Fantome 20, Capt. John Lawrence. In the latter vessel, which he left in Sept. 1811, he also cruized in the North Sea. His last appointments were, 25 Oct. 1813 and 7 Sept. 1814, to the Montagu 74, Capt. Peter Heywood, and, as First-Lieutenant, to the Banterer 14, Capt. Chas. Warde, on the North Sea and Irish stations. He commanded the boats of the Montagu for three months between Walcheren and South Beveland, with nothing during that period to sleep on but a few signal-flags. The hardships he then underwent had the effect, after he had joined the Banterer, of producing paralysis, of depriving him of the use of his limbs, and of greatly impairing the sight of his left eye. He invalided in consequence 28 Nov. 1814. He accepted the rank of Retired Commander 27 Jan. 1846.
Commander Tulloh married, first, in 1812, Mary, daughter of the Rev. F. Reynett, of Waterford; and secondly, 12 July, 1830, Elizabeth, daughter of Wm. Morris, Esq., J. P., of Harbour View, co. Waterford, by whom he has issue one daughter. By his former wife he had issue seven children.

On the morning of 14 Aug. 1804 he took part in her boats, four in number, carrying in the whole about 90 men, in a most desperate attempt made to cut out, from the neighbourhood of Anse-à- Mire, in the Saintes, the late British 14-gun ship-sloop Lily (newly-named the Général Ernouf), defended by several powerful batteries, having a privateer schooner moored across her hawse, so as to enfilade the assailants completely in their approach, and in every way prepared for a stern resistance. After having nobly struggled, and sustained for nearly an hour a murderous fire of great guns and musketry, which, killed and wounded 65 of their number (including the commanding officer, Lieut. Chas. Hayman, and the Master), the British, deprived of all hope of success, retired. Mr. Tupman returned home with Capt. Heathcote from the West Indies in the Desirée 36; and was afterwards appointed – 24 July, 1805, to the Ruby 64, Capts. Chas. Rowley, Temple Hardy, and John Draper, in the North Sea – 17 Nov. 1806, to the Meleager 36, Capts. John Broughton and Fred.
