Vaughan BlakeyHOST
It's important to be insulated from this bullshit financial fucking scam.
Vaughan BlakeyHOST
But, man, like also I saw recently that – I just saw a poster of an old trip you did, and I've got to know about this trip.

Mark HealyGUEST
wives? We got, like, kind of fun okay waves in, like, the first four days.
Mark HealyGUEST
Then it was, like, monsoon.
Vaughan BlakeyHOST
Right, yeah, so people probably don't realise, but Andamans is part of India, technically, even though it's, like, close to the Indo.
Mike RuthnumGUEST
They put me on this mailing list, and it was fine.
Mike RuthnumGUEST
Sometimes I wouldn't even read it and one came through and I read it and halfway through it it said the Indian government is relaxing visits to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Mike RuthnumGUEST
No kidding.
Mike RuthnumGUEST
So foreigners cannot go.

Barry EadsNARRATOR
We are now approaching a group or chain of islands called the Andamans, remarkable in that but little of the inhabitants is known, though an immense amount of commerce passes by their door, so to speak.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
There are three principal islands, one almost touching the other, each about fifty miles long, North Andaman containing a mountain three thousand feet high.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
The inhabitants are very remarkable, and are considered to be as low in the human race as any people on the earth.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
For a long time it was supposed that they were cannibals, and it is reasonable to believe that not so very long ago they were addicted to the practice of eating shipwrecked mariners, but it is positively denied that such a state of affairs now exists by the Europeans who live on the islands.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
They are very short, much under five feet in height, and even at the present time both sexes go about absolutely naked.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
And while the suspicion that they are still cannibals has been disproved, they even up to the present time continue to massacre shipwrecked crews whenever a vessel is unfortunate enough to go ashore in a remote locality.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
A strange fact connected with the Andamanders is that they are a very unhealthy race, individuals seldom reaching the fortieth year, as fevers and lung diseases carry off the population in early life.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
During the latter part of this afternoon we witnessed a magnificent rainbow, and what is very remarkable we apparently sailed right under it.
Alok PandeyHOST
And then my friend now, our doctor, he is here.
Alok PandeyHOST
He called me that, Alok bhai, I am going to Andaman.
Alok PandeyHOST
So I said, congratulations, good, nice, have a nice day.
Alok PandeyHOST
He said, no, no, there is an emergency.
Troy MillingsADVERTISER
Yes?
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
If any old man has any right to it, save three men who are in the Andaman convict barracks from this house, then I know they'd have me do just what I done, rather than let it go to Kip or Kim or Falto or Morstan.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
Cut out that baggie.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
Where is it? You'll find the treasure where the key is, and where little Tonga is.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
We all got penal servitude for life.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
Wasn't the treasure found dead? Not a word of it came out of the trial.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
But there we were, shipped off to the Andamans to serve our time, and work, unfortunately, couldn't touch.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
Well, after a few years, I just put the dispensing for the surgeon.
Sharanya IyerGUEST
I will get killed.
Sharanya IyerGUEST
In Andaman Islands.
Sharanya IyerGUEST
Port Blair is actually just, I guess, 150 kilometers.
Sharanya IyerGUEST
There is an island called the Sentinel, North Sentinel Island.
Prakhar GuptaHOST
one?
Sharanya IyerGUEST
The North Sentinel.
Prakhar GuptaHOST
And Andaman and
Sharanya IyerGUEST
Nicobar, you won't believe the number of tribes and secrets these islands are hiding.
Nikhil ChinapaGUEST
You go down the Blue Hole and then you go around the Blue Corner.
Amin JazHOST
I've seen videos from Andaman and that looks also really good.
Nikhil ChinapaGUEST
I mean, underwater generally is good.
Nikhil ChinapaGUEST
What matters is the company that you're diving with, which makes it that much more fun.
BrewHOST
I think John knew exactly what he was, bargaining for when he decided to make his trip.
BrewHOST
The oldest documented reference of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a whole was made in the 13th century by the Venetian explorer Marco Polo.
BrewHOST
He described the islanders, though not specifically the Sentinelese people, as resembling dogs and referred to them as cruel and treacherous.
BrewHOST
And the first documented account of North Sentinel specifically was from 1771 by a British surveyor with the East India Company, John Ritchie, as his ship sailed by the island on a hydrographic survey mission.
BrewHOST
He didn't step foot on the island, but some of the islanders were seen on the coast as he sailed by.
BrewHOST
Convicts? Yes.
BrewHOST
After the British gained control of the Andaman Islands, they began colonizing them and set up a penal colony in 1789.
BrewHOST
The same year as the previous sighting, something unnerving happened that really laid out an understanding of who the island's inhabitants were.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
[laughs] Yes.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
No early man is any ripe for it, says three men were in the Andaman chronic barge and myself.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
And I know they'd have me do just what I done rather than let it go to Kipper, King, or Sholto, or Morrison.
WatsonVOICE_ACTOR
Cut out the blarney.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
We were brought to trial.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
We all got penal servitude for life.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
Wasn't the treasure found then? Not a word of it came out at the trial, and there we were, shipped off to the Andamans to serve our time and work our fortune we couldn't touch.
Norman ShelleyVOICE_ACTOR
Hmm.
