To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But in those three volleys the dacoits had done their worst. Our first discharge of grape cut many of them down, and sent the rest fly- ing in every direction. An old Peguan chief, with twenty men from the boats, armed with ship's muskets, chased them through the bam- 8* 178 THE GOLDEN DAGON ; boos and caught their Fra Diavolo. They brought the fellow down to the bank, and, having tied him to a tree, shot him dead ; then, decapitating him, they mounted his head on a pole and hoisted it in the b...ranches of the tree for a scare-dacoit. They would have burned him alive, and earnestly besought Captain Neblitt's consent to that picturesque addition to the programme. But we had neither the time nor the ferocity; so to their disappointment and disgust they had to content themselves with a more civilized and Christian style of thing. Be- fore returning to the ship they were ordered to burn the houses, a duty which they brilliantly performed, amid the outlandish glorification of their friends, male and female, big and little, and some astonishing gymnastics of a warlike character on their own part.
