To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Choni was full of rumours. The Ko-lao-hui, or " League of the Elder Brother," which owns a vast number of adherents all over China, was strong in the neighbourhood. For the iliost part their bands are nothing but organised collections of bandits. Military in its inception, the League was started by General Tseng-kuo-fan, the Imperialist commander, during the siege of Nanking, with the express purpose of resisting the influence of " Chinese " Gordon and the " ever- victorious " army under his co...mmand. Originally recruited from among the patriotic soldiers of Hunan and Honan, it has since spread all over the country.
Mr. Percy Kent writes of its members as follows : " Their motto might well be ' War on Mankind.' A salutary dread of the law may keep their evil propensities dormant ; but, the law once relaxed or become powerless, all their savage instincts burst forth, the rest of mankind become a prey ; they scour the country in bands, terrorising, pillaging, killing if it please them, and burning." Some of these local ruffians had intimated that within the next day or so the missionaries' house was to be the object of an attack and that all foreigners were to be kiUed.
