To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
blacks did not hesitate to talk about it now, as so long a time has elapsed since it happened.
A settler named Mr. O'Connor, who had come to reside on the Lower Herbert, cultivated a farm, and employed a great many blacks to help him to clear the scrubs and to work in the fields. He paid them well, was very kind to them, and did not shoot them, as so many of the other colonists did, but was what is called " a blacks' protector." He paid them in meat, flour, and tobacco, but was too kind to them..., and so the natives felt perfectly safe and had an irresistible desire to possess all his property.
They resolved to make an attack on his farm, and marched against the house armed with wooden swords and shields. O'Connor became alarmed, took his revolver, and finally had to shoot at them. But at every shot the natives ran behind the trees and shouted : " Shoot away, it will soon be our turn!" At last he had fired his six shots without hitting one of them. They had ceased to fear him to such a degree that they did not even respect his revolver, and rushing upon him, they slew him with their heavy swords, mangled his body, and plundered his house.
