I found the following in "A History of the Virgin Islands of the United States", by Isaac Dookhan.

"About 318 indentured Indians arrived in 1863 at the cost of $112 each, but few of them served beyond thier first contract of five years. In fact, as many as 253 Indians returned to their home-land in 1868 carrying almost $12,000. The remainder contracted for a further term until 1873 when nearly all of them left for Trinidad via St. Thomas; the few who stayed remained under the protection of the British consulate."
