dc.description.abstract	When he was Lieut. Governor of Malta, at 52, Sir Harry Charles Luke swam five Mediterranean miles from Gozo to Malta in 4 hours 48 minutes, 'and at the finish showed no signs of fatigue.' Until he resigned as High Commissioner for the Western Pacific in 1942, Sir Harry spent 34 years in the British Colonial Service learning about seas, islands, and evil men. From his London retirement last week, Sir Harry spoke on what to do with Axis chiefs after the war: 'The ideal place of residence for them ... would be Falcon Island in the Pacific. It is a volcanic type and sinks into the sea for a period of years and then rises again. [Time Magazine, 29 March 1943]	en_GB
