Summary
PRISONERS IN THE ANDAMAN ISLANDS. The little group of the Andaman Islands lies in the Bay of Bengal, some six hundred miles to the south of Calcutta. In 1858 a convict settlement was established at Port Blair, on the principal island, and to it were sent a large number of the Sepoy mutineers. The island has now become a general convict station for prisoners under life-sentences. It is a group of these men that we see in our illustration assembled on the shore for their mid-day meal. It was at Port Blair that Lord Mayo, Viceroy of India, was treacherously murdered by one of the convicts in the year 1872.
