To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I sat within the doorway, shuddering. No, no ; it could not last, and there, while I looked at him, Tannemeyer turned and waved me fare well. A pistol was in his right hand. I saw a flash and heard a report ; the next instant Tannemeyer lay dead in my arms.
THE COOLY ONE morning it was made known to the captain that three coolies from the water- carriers were lacking. Thereupon he sent some of us down to the lie-thung (mayor?) of the village to bid him send us three other coolies. As we entered... the lie-thung s house he was just fastening up his hair, in a Grecian knot you would have said.
He smiled a nervous welcome as he stopped in his toilet, and motioned us to be seated on the broad platform, on which his bedclothes were still lying. When he had served us with tea from a porcelain pot, we told him, in " pigeon " French, what we wanted.
What! three more coolies? O, impossi ble ; there was not one to be had in all the village. Of the three who were missing, one had been drowned the night before in the river, another had broken his arm, and the third had the fever.
