In Port Blair the locally bom of both sexes may be fairly described, as a 

 whole, as astonishingly wicked. Their delight is to do mischief, and to worry 

 each other and their elders in an ingenious variety of underhand and crooked 

 ways, including the perverse and fruitless lawsuit. It is very much better 

 that their minds should be turned on athletic sports and games, while they can 

 still join in them, than on such matters as these ; and hence grounds for cricket 

 and football with all requisites have been granted, and a gymnastic instructor 

 has been obtained for teaching the boys. It is believed that satisfactory pro- 

 gress is made, and that much benefit will be derived from the lately established 

 gymnasium, in which loo boys are (1901) being trained.
