To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At none of these villages were w^e allowed to enter; but while I was waiting near one for the caravan to come up, two of my men managed to get inside with the intention of trying to buy the rarity of a fowl or goat for me. Directly they were discovered, a shout was raised, and all the peoj^le retreated into an inner palisade, and closed the entrances.
The inhabitants then began threatening my men with sj^ears from this inner fortification, and they judged it advisable to withdraw. But after a t...ime the people gained confidence, and, seeing only myself and three followers, ventured out to satisfy their curiosity by staring at us from a distance.
At last I induced one of the natives to come near me ; but, after having a good look, he covered his face with his hands and rushed away with a yell. He had never before seen a white man, and I really believe he thought I was a devil.
