Later, when the people from the Kiribati (formerly Gilbert) and Tuvalu (formerly Ellice) islands were gaining independence from Britain, the governor offered me the post as head of the Tuvalu administration.
Hiljem, sel ajal kui Kiribati (endise nimega Gilberti) ja Tuvalu (endise nimega Ellice’i) saarte rahvas soovis iseseisvuda, pakkus kuberner mulle Tuvalu valitsusjuhi kohta.
