To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rhodes, and con- ducted by a Dutch Church minister, made a faint attempt to penetrate the desert, principally with a view to ascertain the capabilities of the country bordered by the Botletle River for immigration purposes. As I have said before, that part of the country is, and must remain, unsuitable for colonisation on account of the prevalence of fever THE GREAT THIRST LAND. 95 and of the most virulent thorn jungles to be met with in South Africa. It is said that on this occasion two faint ...attempts to tap underground waters were made without success, and the expedition was a failure as I fully expected it would be under the circumstances. In fact, no expedition of the kind should be undertaken in a perfunctory manner, and when on the edge of the desert some weeks should be expended in acquiring all the information possible from natives and other residents. No reliable information is, as a rule, obtainable in Africa in a hurry, or, in the absence of the last, it is necessary to " pump " without seeming to do so, or exciting suspicion.
