Some of the boys had made dominos from bones, and Andrews and I still had our chessmen, but we were too listless to play.

The mind, enfeebled by the long disuse of it except in a few limited channels, was unfitted for even so much effort as was involved in a game for pastime.
Nor were there any physical exercises, such as that crowd of young men would have delighted in under other circumstances.

There was no running, boxing, jumping, wrestling, leaping, etc.

All were too weak and hungry to make any exertion beyond that absolutely necessary.

On cold days everybody seemed totally benumbed.
