To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A general attack now took place on two sides of the fort, but the two 9-pounders and the effective and steady firing from the camp soon repulsed them ; in fact, before the attack had time to properly develop. The Boers then lined the front walls of the town about 500 yards from the front, and kept up a continuous fire till dark, doing no damage. That evening the water furrow, from which the supply of water for the camp was taken, was cut off. In the meantime the well which had already been comm...enced was sunk to a depth of twenty feet, but no water was obtained. Affairs now became very critical, the water-barrels, which had fortunately been filled on the 16th, only contained sufficientwater for two days, at the limited rate of two pints a day per man. The weather was fearfully hot, and the work of building the parapets terribly severe on the men. On the night of the 17th it was determined to talie the water-carts to a stream half a mile away from camp and fill them ; this difficult and hazardous expedition started soon after dark, under command of Lieu- tenant Lindsell, to whom the undertaking was entrusted, and who took with him twenty-five drivers of Eoyal Artillery acting as Cavalry, the Mounted Infantry, and one company of the 21st.
