144 SPORT IN ASIA AND AFRICA 



On the occasion of a virulent outbreak of 

 small-pox a very large number of vaccinations 

 were performed, with much benefit to the natives 

 in the interior of the country, by the young 

 district officers with the assistance of Indian 

 policemen, as no medical aid was obtainable. 



There was some discontent also in the service 

 at this time, but the officers employed did their 

 duty in spite of this. There were, of course, 

 many things in the administration which required 

 alteration and revision; but, in my opinion, the 

 government of the country, as then conducted, 

 was a marvellous British achievement.
