To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"But they will keep a sharp lookout day and night to do us injury. We have four THE TWO LEADERS 85 walls to guard and only one hundred and twenty men to do it. The garrison will be exhausted in no time." "Yes, we have hard work before us," agreed the commander, "but we can do it. Our case is hot so bad as you represent. The ship's guns protect two walls, so that virtually only two sides of the fort are ex- posed to the enemy. To me the most alarming feature of the siege is short rations." "The ...supplies are low and we cannot hope for more within three weeks. We'll starve to death, penned up here with no hunting and no provisions from the Cana- dian farmers," complained some, ready in their alarm to magnify every danger. "By taking care to prevent waste we can make the supplies last," the commander interrupted. "I shall buy up at once everything in the fort that can serve as food, put it into a common storehouse, and give to each person a daily allowance.

In this way the courageous leader argued, until, at last, he overcame the fears of his aids and roused in them a spirit of resistance.
