To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our two Arabs, who were better mounted than M l or myself, arrived first, and rushed into the middle of the band, desiring us on no account to fire, or advance nearer to the robbers, who, when they saw us approach- ing, sent ten of their gang to surround us. This they did so effectually, as to leave us no way of escaping. They still continued advancing till they were within four yards of us ; when the Chief ordered us to lay down our arms, menacing instant death to every individual of us, in ca...se of refusal or hesitation. Thus situated, opposition on our part would bespeak the highest degree of temerity. For, though we might, in case of a rencounter, kill and wound many of them, and even make our escape from the field ; yet, from the great superiority of their number to ours, we must have fallen a sacrifice to them in the end. Therefore, with hearts burning with stifled indignation, we submitted to our fate and obeyed the imperious command. The advanced party still kept us closely hemmed.
