To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He gained the highest peak, and gazed around. Not far away he came across the mark of an elephant's foot ; it was of enormous size. Eagerly he measured the impression, and then made his calculation, " twice the circumference of the foot always giving the height of the animal at the shoulder. "" He found that this particular beast must boast a height of twelve feet, which the hunter believed to be the maximum for an African elephant. A tramp of eight miles along the crest of the mountain was req...uired, however, before a sight of the herd could be seen. There, for the first time in his life, the English- man saw the elephant in his own home. " With intense and indescribable interest" the men looked down at the sight, while the gigantic Andries, with straining eyes and quivering lips, stammered out, " Dar stand de olifant !" The men now went round to drive, with much rattling of shields, the elephants towards the master. All uncon- scious of the presence of an enemy, the animals slowly walked in Harris's direction, and soon a report made the hills resound.
