To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The insurgents so distributed their forces as to divide our attention ; and keeping at such a distance, that it was quite impossible to get at them; a few were killed by the shell at a very long range ; and on our side, although their practice with shot and shell was very good, there was no loss. The shell burst over the heads of the cavalry, and the balls 202 THE CRUISE OF THE PEARL rolled along past the line to the rear among the Dhoolee bearers and camp followers, showing that their battery ...was managed by experienced gunners j no doubt trained for the service of the Honourable East India Company.
It can scarcely be said that they made an attack : all their manoeuvres seemed intended to harass our men, and keep at a sufficient distance to make their escape when closely pressed. When urged to the attack by then- leaders telling them that our "guns were small/' they remarked that the " spice (shot and shell) was very strong, " and thought it safer to keep at a civil distance. If they only desired to allure our men into the sun, and thus weaken the force, the attempt was well managed : but even in this they were dis- appointed, few of our men suffering much after a night's rest, although the thermometer was up to 105°.
