To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Akbar Khan got scent of what was passing, and laid a trap into which the ill-fated envoy fell but too readily. At the interview to which he had been invited on the 23rd December, the officers who went with him were suddenly seized by some of Akbar's men, and Mac- naghten himself, after a brief struggle with the angry chief, was shot dead by Akbar's own hand. The deed ap- pears to have been done upon the spur of the moment, and it is only fair to suppose that the seizure rather than the death of... so important a leader was the real object of his murderer's attack.
Not an effiDrt was made to avenge Macnaghten's death.

In vain did Pottinger urge a stand for life or death in the Bala Hissar. The negotiations were resumed, and Afghan insolence rose with each fresh default of English honour. At last, on the 6th January, 1842, General Elphinstone marched out of his cantonments, leaving behind him all his treasure, stores, and ordnance, except six guns, while four officers 326 HISTORY OF INDIA remained as hostages in Akbar's hands.
