MASSACHUSETTS GAZETTE, October 2, 1766
The son of Captain Scotto Clark was killed by a sperm whale near George's Banks a few days since. The whale struck the boat at the bow with his head, with great force, throwing the young man who stood there ready with his lance, into the mouth of the whale, which turned and made off with him. He was heard to scream by his father, who commanded the boat, as the fish's jaws closed about him.

Tully left behind his widow, Huldah Clark (1738-1828), daughter of Seth and Huldah Doane. They were married on January 20, 1763.
