To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Lee, who now keeps a hotel here, acted as our guide, and pointed out the various localities. He was a non-commissioned officer, and accompanied General Havelock's army, which arrived two days after the massacre, and inflicted upon the rebels the terrible retribution of fastening several hundred of them in front of the big cannon and blowing them into pieces. Mr. Lee pointed out the exact spot where these executions took place, and showed how the poor wretches were fastened to the mouths of ...the cannon. It will be remem- bered that General Wheeler, commanding the British troops, after defending the fort for weeks against a great army of rebels, was 93 94 Around the World, induced to surrender under promise of pro- tection from Nana Sahib, who collected the prisoners on the banks of the Ganges and had them massacred. Only four escaped. General Wheeler was seventy-two years of age, married to a native woman, and had by her seven children. He believed that Nana Sahib would keep faith with him, but he and all his officers were collected on some steps leading down to the water of the Ganges, and at a signal from Nana they were all shot down and killed.
