In this ship, and in others, George afterwards fought many gallant
actions, greatly distinguishing himself, and eventually retiring from
the service, at an advanced age, with a wooden leg, a baronetcy, and the
title of rear-admiral. His wife Lucy, with most commendable liberality,
presented him with no fewer than seven sons, all of whom grew up to be
fine stalwart fellows, and, entering the navy one after the other,
followed worthily in the footsteps of their gallant father.
