To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So at least we all believe, and in the meanwhile trustwholeheartedly.
But some part of the army will certainly cross at Potgieter's; and as Ilooked down on the smooth smiling landscape it seemed very strange tothink that in a few days it would blaze into a veritable hell. Yet thedark lines of shelter trenches, the redoubts crowning the hills, thebristle of tiny black figures busily entrenching against the sky line, hundreds of horses grazing in the plain, all promised a fierce andstubborn defen...ce. I turned about. The country to the southward was alsovisible. What looked to the naked eye like an endless thin rope laystreaked across the spacious veldt, and when I looked through the glassI saw that it was ten or twelve miles of marching men and baggage. Thearmies were approaching. The collision impended.
Nothing happened during the day except the capture of the ferry, whichdaring enterprise was carried out by volunteers from the South AfricanLight Horse. Six swimmers, protected by a covering party of twenty men, swam the flooded Tugela and began to haul the punt back, whereat theBoers concealed in the kopjes opened a brisk fire at long range on thenaked figures, but did not hit anyone nor prevent them all from bringingthe punt safely to our side: a dashing exploit, of which theirregiment--the 'Cockyolibirds, ' as the army, with its customaryirreverence, calls us on account of the cock's feather cockades we wearin our hats (miserable jealousy!)--are immensely proud.
