After being the first headmaster of Newington College, Sydney, he went to Tonga to take charge of the Friendly Islands district Native Training Institution in Nuku'alofa. The institution later became Tupou College. With a few breaks, he worked in Tonga for 40 years. He was responsible for a complete revision of the Tongan Bible and the creation of an extensive vernacular literature.
