What reading level is Chiefs And Cities of Central Africa Across Lake Chad By Way of British French book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The allies retreated to the most favourable position they could find in the Togbau hills, but, though the Bagirimi at first fought bravely, they were powerless to withstand the force of Babeh's onslaught. They broke and fled, and in the confusion of the rout Gauaronga, who had received two wounds, made good his escape together with the remnant of his men. As for the small French force it was utterly exter- minated. The sole survivors were three Senegalese, who, early in the battle, had been too... severely wounded to fight to the death like their comrades.
This disaster cured the Bagirimi of any further wish to revolt against Babeh's overmastering power, and when, in the autumn of 1899, Gentil arrived with a small force, the Bagirimi stirred neither hand nor foot to help in his attempt to reduce Babeh to sub- mission. The action consequently was indecisive.
Meanwhile, however, two other French expeditions ^ ' La Chute de I'Empire de Kabah, ' par M. Gentil.
THE BAGIRIMI 147 were converging on the stubborn conqueror, the one from Senegal, the other from Algiers under Com- mandant Lamy.
