...teacher that he had "behaved indecently" with them while making a speech test. Jones was arrested, and, although the case was eventually dismissed, it left him a marked man.

Today the roster includes 30 native sisters and novices (average age: 21) whose royal blue habits and white headdresses do not conceal the facial tattoos of their tribal origin. As nurses and teachers, they help the white nuns in the region, who constantly fan out to outlying parishes, get around on horseback, motorcycles or Jeeps, ford streams on oil-drum rafts, shoot snakes and birds of prey that threaten the mission's poultry flocks.
