In 1824 he travelled to the Society Islands to undertake work for the London Missionary Society. While there, he campaigned against rival French Catholic missionaries, leading the French to demand compensation and threaten to bombard Papeete. In 1837, he was appointed British consul at Tahiti, advising Queen Pōmare IV. The Islands were annexed by France in spite of his protests, in 1843.
