To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We faced round, and firing down the street, at first above the level of their heads, we made a dash at them, which sent them flying hither and thither for shelter from the terrific bar- barians. We drove them all into the houses, whilst some of the soldiers actually held children up before them, using them as shields, behind which they fired after us; but fortunately they were too terrified to aim correctly.
We cleared the whole of the Tan quarter, and returned to our tower by a new and devious... way.
The following morning the wives of some of our wounded adversaries came to us, and had the impudence to ask us to give them some medicine to cure the slight wounds their husbands had received in the milie.
I supplied them with some pills, assuring them that BEGINNING OF THE CAMPHOR WAR 209 they were very lucky to have any husbands left alive at all.
We kept guard all that night until the next day, when the mandarin and his troops left the town with a great noise of tom-toms and waving of banners.
