TULLOH. (Retired Commander, 1845. f-p., 13; h-p., 35.)
Charles Tulloh , born about 1785, is son of the late Lieut. John Tulloh, R.N., and brother of Retired Commander Wm. Izod Tulloh, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 17 Nov. 1799, as a Supernumerary, on board the Dictator 64, armée en flûte, Capt. Hardy. He served next, from Jan. 1800 until April, 1802, as A.B. and Midshipman, in the Redoubt 20, Capt. Jas. Keith Shephard, at the Nore; in May of the latter year he joined the Hussar 33, Capt. Philip Wilkinson, stationed in the Bay of Biscay; he was employed, from 1803 until Jan. 1806, in the Terrible 74, Capt. Lord Henry Paulet, on the coasts of France and Spain; and in the following Sept. he was received by Sir John Duckworth on board his flag-ship the Royal George 100. On 14 Feb. 1807, when about to enter the Dardanells, he assisted in a boat under the present Sir Nesbit Josiah Willoughby, and was nearly destroyed, in an attempt to save the crew of the Ajax 74, at the time in flames. He was afterwards, previously to the re-passage of the Dardanells, engaged in a disastrous affair with the Turks on the island of Prota. On 15 Aug. 1808, at which period the Royal George had been for some time employed in the West Indies, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. His succeeding appointments were, chiefly on the Home station – 31 Aug. 1808, to the Cordelia 10, Capt. Thos. Fortescue Kennedy, part of the expedition sent in 1809 to the river Scheldt, where his health, from serving in flat-boats, became much impaired – 10 Jan. 1810 after an interval of half-pay, to the Scipion 74, bearing the flag of Hon. Robt. Stopford – 25 Aug. followmg, to the St. Fiorenzo 36, troop-ship, Capt. Hon. Edmund Sexten Pery Knox – 8 June, 1811, for seven months (he had invalided from the St Fiorenzo in the preceding April), to the Abercromby 74, Capt. Wm. Chas. Fahie – and, 8 April, 1812, to the Britomart 10, Capts. W. B. Hunt and Robt. Bidden (now Carre). While attached to the Scipion he served at the blockade of Rochefort, and aided in cutting out different vessels laden with naval stores from under Rochelle. On the death, at Heligoland, of Capt. Hunt of the Britomart, the command of that vessel devolved upon him, and he was sent with her to North Yarmouth. On his arrival he was ordered to the Baltic to assist in conducting to England the Russian fleet, of 17 sail of the line; a service which he accordingly performed. Having been refitted at Sheerness, the Britomart was joined by Capt. Riddell; with whom Mr. Tulloh proceeded off the Texel. He was subsequently, in a violent storm, blown to sea; his health again suffered; and he lost the sense of hearing. He therefore, about Oct. 1813, invalided; and on 27 Oct. 1845 he accepted his present rank.
Commander Tulloh married Hester, sister of Capt. Sir Sam. Roberts, R.N., Kt., C.B.

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.

He was present too, in the early part of 1806, at the capture, with some loss to the British, of two out of a squadron of gun-boats, each armed with a long 4-pounder and a 12-pounder cohorn, which had come through the Passage du Raz.
