by John Marshall, Royal Naval Biography — Geary, John (1823)
“ John Geary, of H.M. schooner Mullet, for not having done his utmost to execute the orders of Sir Robert Calder, in proceeding with the mails to Surinam, Berbice, and Demerara, but returned twice to port. Lieutenant Geary’s defence was, that the sickly state of his crew prevented him. The Court sentenced him to be severely reprimanded.” We next find Lieutenant Geary serving under Captain Robert Henderson, in the Tigris frigate, on the Irish station, and at the Leeward Islands. ”
